Statehood For New Mexico, 1888-1912, Robert W. Larson

History ETDs

Because of her long history, far more tumultuous and varied than that of the other territories; and her culture, so different from all the rest of the United States, New Mexico was the most intriguing and challenging of the western territories. Modern American history has paralleled this unique past by showing that New Mexico, along with her sister territory Arizona, fought the longest and most complex battle for statehood. In the 1880's New Mexico was one of the many territories in the western domain in the United States. In fact, statehood in the west was the exception rather than the …

History ETDs

This thesis investigates the opinions expressed in British circles of the development of the German navy during the years 1900-1909.

Federal Military Agencies, 1861-1865, Irwin L. Nolan

History ETDs

The Civil War in the United States was a gigantic moral and physical effort that has elicited the feelings of hundreds of its participants and thousands of its students. Yet, in all of the treatment of the conflict, a dearth of information is available on the informational agencies that contributed to the Union military victory. No historian to date has chosen to publish a definitive study of these agencies and it is the hope here that some light can be shed on four types of organizations that were, for the most part, developed as a result of the war. This …

John Gerson And The Conciliar Movement, Arthur E. Wright Jr.

History ETDs

The salient event in church history in the two hundred years previous to the Protestant Revolution was the decline of the Catholic Church. During the High Middle Ages the Church and its visible head had enjoyed tremendous prestige. In many ways the Church had dominated and controlled the lives of men. This was not to be the case during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries when the Catholic Church and the Papacy were to lose their dominant position and other forces and influences became supreme. If, in many ways, this was an internal decline, visible signs of it were not lacking.

The Navajos And Federal Policy, 1913-1935, Lawrence C. Kelly

History ETDs

Most studies of the American Indian are confined to the more romantic eras of his history: the nineteenth century and before. But few studies, relatively, are concerned with the recent, twentieth century aspects of Indian history. While the reason for this is obvious, as the Indian vanishes, so does interest in him fade, it is nevertheless true that some tribes are growing and their vitality in the twentieth century is a subject worthy of consideration.

Church And State During The Second Spanish Republic, 1931-1936, José M. Sánchez

History ETDs

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries groups of reformers demanded a decrease in the Church's powers as a prelude to national political, social and economic reform. But, even they were cautious enough not to demand a complete separation of Church and State. Thus, despite economic attacks upon the Church's landed wealth, and despite a semi-official policy of anticlericalism, the church-state union survived intact until 1931.

The reformers of 1931 deemed it their task to legislate complete separation of the two jurisdictions. Because they wanted the Church forever excluded from the political, social, and intellectual life of the nation, they …
