Teritorijalne samouprave u Kraljevini Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca – od ustavne kategorije i realizacije do historiografske obrade

Author(s): Seka Brkljača / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

This piece examines the phenomenon of autonomy, which – in various forms and to various degrees – was a permanent characteristic of the state structure of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The author points to untapped archival collections of regional institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In her analysis, she suggests that it is necessary to reconstruct the idea of autonomy as theory and practice in the Kingdom because the post-1945 historiography was markedly one-dimensional.

Az első világháború keletkezése új megközelítésben

Author(s): Richard John Evans / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The centenary year 2014 yielded a huge number of books on the causes of World War I, ranging from broad panoramas of the preceding decades to detailed investigation of international relations in the weeks after Sarajevo. This contribution draws briefly on some of the more rigorous and ambitious of the new English-language work, to set it in the context of existing historiography on the subject. It finds current analysis to have reverted to many of the conclusions drawn by those assessing the issues during the 1920s and 1930s, which culminated in the magisterial treatment by Luigi Albertini. Structuralist interpretations, and the thesis of well-nigh exclusive German war guilt, associated most famously with the writings of Fritz Fischer, have given way again to a stress on the personal and all-round responsibility of those who determined the foreign-policy decision-making of the great powers in mid-1914. This is especially clear in reappraisal of the key role of Austria-Hungary in that process.

„Zeigen der Flagge.” II. Vilmos három hadihajója és Heinrich von Hohenzollern főherceg missziója 1914 tavaszán és nyarán Brazíliában, Uruguayban, Argentínában és Chilében

Author(s): Ferenc Fischer / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

On the 15th of November 1913, Wilhelm II gave order to the two brand new and strongest dreadnought type warships of the German Navy, the SMS Kaiser, the flagship of the emperor, the SMS König Albert and the SMS Strassburg cruisers to navigate from the North Sea to visit the West-African German colonies, and to demonstrate the strength of the German Navy on South-American waters, visiting Brazilian, Argentinian, Uruguayan, and Chilean harbours. In the meantime, the same South-American countries were visited by Heinrich von Hohenzollern and his wife. Against the background of a very tense international atmosphere, the so-called „Detaschierte Division” was placed, during its special mission of 25.000 nautical miles and 6 months, under the command of the emperor himself. The most important aims set by the twofold special mission were to test the warship’s maximal war capacities and abilities with a view to preparing for war („Kriegsfall”); „war advertisment” to make the South-American Navies purchase German warships; to strengthen the German orientation of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay while reducing the influence of the USA, Great-Britain and France in these countries; to strengthen the loyalty of German colonies towards the fatherland in remote countries. The German warships returned to Kiel on the 17th of June 1914. The paper is based on primary sources explored in German archives and marked as „secret” („Geheim”).

A navalizmus és az osztrák-magyar haditengerészet felkészülése a Nagy Háborúra

Author(s): Mihály Krámli / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The Anglo-German naval arms race of early 20th century was one of the causes of First World War. There were also naval buildups in many other counties, so this period was described as the age of navalism. The intense naval buildup begun in 1904 in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which culminated in the dreadnought-programme of 1911-1914. The budget of the Austro-Hungarian Navy was quadrupled in this period. The Triple Alliance Naval Convention of 1913 calculated with joint Austro-Hungarian-Italian operations against the French fleet, but after the outbreak of the war the declaration of neutrality of Italy rendered the Convention a piece of paper.

Spanyolország az első világháborúban. A semlegesség dilemmái

Author(s): Mária Pallagi / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

I examine the Spanish neutralism during the WWI. Primarily I show the question of Spain’s role between 1914-1918 in the aspects of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy’s diplomats in Madrid and I examine the reports of the ambassador duke Karl Emil Fürstenberg. I try to find the answer: why was Spain, and the maintenance of Spanish neutralism important in the rivalry of the Great Powers and I show the division of the Spanish political elite and society in the question of the attitude towards war, while I emphasize the elements of the arguments, expectations and hopes of the two sympathizer camps towards the great powers. In my essay I prove the dilemmas of Alfonz XIII in connection with the neutralism as well.

Litwini na Uniwersytecie Dorpackim (Juriewskim) do 1918 roku i ich dalsze losy

Author(s): Grzegorz Błaszczyk / Language(s): Polish

The book, which is a biographical dictionary, is devoted to students of Lithuanian origin from the University of Dorpat in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The basic problem is that of separating Poles from Lithuanians in the period from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. An additional problem is the ambiguity of the term "Lithuanian" at that time. For there were two different concepts: Historical Lithuanian and Ethnic Lithuanian. These differ in many respects, mainly social, territorial, historical, ethnic. In the approach used by the author of this book, historical Lithuanians included such famous people as Stanislaw Cat Mackiewicz, his brother Józef Mackiewicz, Melchior Wańkowicz, Czesław Miłosz or Józef Piłsudski, alongside many others. In terms of ethnicity, all these mentioned were not of Polish but of Lithuanian or Ruthenian origin. The individuals considered themselves Lithuanians in a historical sense, but ultimately chose a Polish national consciousness. In this publication, both notions – Pole and Lithuanian – are used in a narrow sense, limited only to a person's national consciousness. Therefore, a Pole or a Lithuanian is a person who consciously and publicly expressed his or her national consciousness, whether Polish or Lithuanian. Such a situation was encountered only from the very end of the 19th century until Yuriev University closed in 1918.

Paměti: Kdo sloužíš vlasti, odměny nečekej

Author(s): / Language(s): Czech

Karel Engliš started writing his memoirs in 1925, when he was 45 years old, and he worked on them intermittently until the end of his life in 1961. This resulted in the creation of several comprehensive thematic collections. It is therefore not a classic biography. However, this is what makes the book unique and special. It allows us to witness how Engliš dealt with different subjects over the years, and what he considered necessary to comment on, to record. The book provides the reader with an opportunity to recognize Engliš’s keen observational talent and extraordinary memory. Despite a gap of decades, Karel Engliš can describe events and personalities in such detail, as if he experienced or saw them just yesterday.From these texts written almost forty years ago, the reader will be struck by Engliš’s defining character traits: directness, truthfulness. He himself writes: ‘I speak the truth of what I think, no matter what wrath I may bring down upon myself. That's how I did it for the whole 80 years’. His kindness, tolerance, extraordinary diligence, well-organized thoughts and sense of humour are moving and impressive.
