Dissertations and Theses
In 1914, Copperfield, Oregon was militarily occupied by order of the governor, Oswald West. Its town government was deposed, the city officials were arrested, and the town's saloons were closed and all liquor and gambling devices were seized.

Celtic Romanization: Cultural Assimilation Or Cultural Exchange?, Shawn Lee
Celtic Romanization: Cultural Assimilation Or Cultural Exchange?, Shawn Lee
Young Historians Conference
The rise of the Roman Empire created not only a military but also a cultural hegemony over colonized populations. While this interaction is often portrayed as a primarily unidirectional process of cultural assimilation, this may not be the case for Celtic peoples following their colonization in the mid first century BC. An examination of Roman perception of Celtic culture, perceived compatibility of Celtic culture, and mixed Romano-Celtic culture indicates that the cultural exchange between Romans and Celts was bi-directional.
U.S. Supported Corporations And Modern Imperialism: America's Takeover Of Hawaii, Lance D. Crafton
U.S. Supported Corporations And Modern Imperialism: America's Takeover Of Hawaii, Lance D. Crafton
Young Historians Conference
In 1893, the constitutional monarchy of Hawaii was overthrown and replaced with a government backed by the United States, opening the door for America to claim Hawaii as a territory and later annex it as the 50th state. The story of Hawaii illuminates the extent of U.S. influence abroad and reveals the true nature of how America began its 20th century imperialism. This paper explores the takeover of the islands as well as various American reactions to it, uncovering the social, political, and economic factors that shaped Hawaii’s future.
The Irish Hunger And Its Alignments With The 1948 Genocide Convention, Larissa M. Banitt
The Irish Hunger And Its Alignments With The 1948 Genocide Convention, Larissa M. Banitt
Young Historians Conference
The Irish Hunger of the mid nineteenth century began when a potato blight ruined most of Ireland's crop. While this was indeed a natural crisis, Britain's ineffective response exacerbated the sugaring the Irish endured. Widespread discrimination of the Irish, economic and moral ideologies all contributed to the British government's reaction to the famine. This paper evaluates how British adherence to these ideologies increased Irish suffering and aligns with the definition of genocide as defined by the 1948 Genocide Convention
