Partnership Of Necessity: The Anglo-American Intelligence Relationship From 1921 To 1942, H. Douglas Brooks Iii
History Theses & Dissertations
Throughout the period between the two world wars, Great Britain and the United States were embroiled in an imperialistic rivalry focused heavily in East Asia. The strong sense of competition and mistrust between the navies of the two nations hindered the development of close cooperation as war became imminent in the late 1930s. This state of affairs encompassed every aspect of naval operations, including signal intelligence whose officials sought to forge a working relationship beneficial to both countries in the opening days of the Second world War. Old prejudices and outdated perceptions of national interest were difficult to overcome even …

The Civil War As A Catalyst For The Professionalization Of Nursing, Rosemary Plum
History Theses & Dissertations
The Civil War played a major role in the transformation of nursing from a domestic service to a genuine profession for women. Thousands of women moved into the public space of the battlefield to care for the sick and wounded, transferring their domestic skills to the administration of military hospitals and the gathering and distribution of sanitary supplies. The United States Sanitary Commission, an organization formed by women such as Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, promoted the training of women as skilled nurses, Drawing on the techniques and experience of Florence Nightingale, American women elevated nursing, a previously domestic duty, into a …

"Preservation...From The Dangers Of The Enemy As Well As Seas": The Establishment Of The Old Cape Henry Lighthouse, Kevin Charles Valliant
History Theses & Dissertations
As the federal government of the United States began its existence, the Chesapeake Bay had gone without a significant navigational aid for nearly two centuries. What factors then led the newly established government to build a lighthouse on Cape Henry, at the entrance of the Bay? Although the colonial governments of Virginia and Maryland failed to build a lighthouse, their efforts provided the groundwork for the Cape Henry light, which the federal government envisioned not only as a device to guide ships to safety, but as part of a system designed to ensure revenue for the new nation. This study …
Out Of The Air: The Role Of Communications Intelligence In The Strategic Bombing Campaign Against The German Oil Industry And Transportation System In World War Ii, Darrell Nolen
History Theses & Dissertations
During World War II communications intelligence (ULTRA) was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Allied strategic bombing campaign against the German oil industry and transportation system. In the case of the oil campaign communications intelligence provided confirmation of serious damage inflicted on the German war economy. This conformed nicely to the prewar American doctrine of precision daylight bombardment of critical nodes of an enemy industrial system. The intention of this policy was to cause the collapse of the enemy's military capability. The campaign against the German transportation system did not fit into this doctrinal framework as precisely; consequently, it …

The Student Movement At Old Dominion: 1964-1970, Patrick Joseph Pané
History Theses & Dissertations
Old Dominion College, located in Norfolk, Virginia, experienced student unrest during the 1960s. Students at Old Dominion, like their counterparts throughout the country, challenged the university's authority and protested the war in Vietnam. This thesis will examine the student movement at Old Dominion College (which became Old Dominion University in 1969) from 1964 to 1970 and how the reactions of presidents Lewis W. Webb, Jr. and James L. Bugg, Jr. influenced student protest from 1964 to 1970. Lewis Webb, chief executive of the college from 1946-1969, tried to limit the movement's impact on campus. His policies resulted in conflicts over …
Presidential Philosophies And American Foreign Policy: From The Long Telegram To The New Look, John R. Moore
Presidential Philosophies And American Foreign Policy: From The Long Telegram To The New Look, John R. Moore
History Theses & Dissertations
American foreign policy often undergoes alteration as presidential administrations change. After World War II president Harry S. Truman and President Dwight D. Eisenhower both implemented a foreign policy aimed at containing the Soviet Union, but the philosophical underpinnings of their foreign policies differed greatly. While the demands of partisan and international politics account for some of this difference, the impact on foreign policy of the two men's personalities deserves attention and investigation. In other words, how did the individual backgrounds, personal beliefs and world views of Truman and Eisenhower dictate their approach to foreign policy? The source used in this …

Judicial Intelligence: Allied Signal Intelligence And The War Crimes Trials Of Class "A" War Criminals At The International Military Tribunal For The Far East, 1946-1948, William Todd Baker
History Theses & Dissertations
This thesis examines the use of Allied signal intelligence as evidence in the prosecution of Japanese military and political leaders accused of major war crimes before the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in 1946-1948. Allied signal intelligence helped illuminate Japan's participation in the Second World War. MAGIC signal intelligence, as part of a larger body of evidence presented by the prosecution, served also to aid in the convictions of Japanese military and political leaders accused as Class “A” war criminals. This study is based on documentary evidence from the thirty-nine reel microform collection of official Court Papers, two …
