The Role Of The United States In The Adolfo De La Huerta Rebellion, 1923-1924, William G. Best

History ETDs

Preface:

In December 1923 Adolfo de la Huerta led a rebellion against the government of President Alvaro Obregón. It lasted into the last three months of 1924 and culminated in the total defeat of the rebels. The United States at once came to the support of Obregón and sided his government with munitions shipments, an embargo on arms against the rebels, naval demonstrations aimed at frustrating the naval operations of the rebels, and diplomatic services and support.

The main focus of this study is the position and participation of the United States in the la Huerta rebellion. It is not …

Sayler's Creek : A Battlefield, A Park, Peter Warren Eldredge

Master's Theses

The significance in history of the land area known as Sayler's Creek is derived from the fact that the last major conflict between Union and Confederate forces was fought there on April 6, 1865. The battle has been neglected because it immediately precedes the surrender; however, the engagement does contain valuable historical information.

William Roane Aylett, 1833-1900, Joseph P. Harahan

Master's Theses

This thesis grew out of a paper presented in Dr. Joseph C. Robert's Civil War Seminar in January, 1967. At that time the topic was limited to a study of the subject with only a cursory narrative of his life.

The decision to expand this topic into a full biography was based on two factors. First, the need for such a study was pointed out by military historian Theodore Ropp in an article in the South Atlantic Quarterly on the Civil War. The second factor involved the material available for this biographical study. In 1966, a large manuscript collection (approx. …

George Iii In The Pennsylvania Press: A Study In Changing Opinions, 1760-1776, Robert D. Fiala

Wayne State University Dissertations

This study is an attempt to utilize the popular newspaper and pamphlet press to trace the growing estrangement between the monarch and his subjects before July, 1776. At what point did Americans abandon their hope in George III? What factors contributed to their final conclusion that the responsibility for the estrangement of the colonies from the mother country wets the king’s? Because of the vast amount of available material and also because of the widespread reprinting of newspaper articles and pamphlets, the writer has limited his study to the press of one colony, Pennsylvania. He has examined most of the …

The Foreign Policy Of Harry S. Truman, Patricia Reagan Slater

Graduate Thesis Collection

Without knowing it, a professor of mine, Dr. Emma Lou Thornbrough, stimulated my interest in President Truman when she stated in a freshman history course that Harry S. Truman would go down in history as one of the greatest American Presidents if not the greatest because of his ingenuity in foreign policy. The exact purporse of this paper is to examine these programs.

A Historical Analysis Of The Nomination Of Wendell Lewis Willkie For The Presidency Of The United States Of America, Jerold David Gritz

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In this rather apt description of Wendell Willkie, the 1940 Republican presidential nominee, two important characteristics of the man stand out: his personal traits and energy and his strength of conviction in fighting for the principles in which he believed. Willkie cannot be regarded a politician in the usual sense; he was a businessman who, because of his convictions, waged a personal war against Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal - a war conducted outside the realm of partisan politics. His successes in the fight with the administration brough Willkie a measure of recognition and aroused the interest of certain …
