Worldwide Waters: Laurasian Flood Myths And Their Connections, Logan A. Mcdonald
Worldwide Waters: Laurasian Flood Myths And Their Connections, Logan A. Mcdonald
Honors College Theses
In various cultures, stories of great floods have arisen, and many scholars agree that the writers of these stories based their accounts on an actual flooding event. However, these narratives vary in characters, plot, and even their meaning to each culture. This thesis examines several Laurasian flood narratives, perhaps the most ancient narratives in Western literature, including those of the Egyptian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Sumerian, and Israeli cultures. These civilizations all rose and existed in close proximity to one another, which makes the historicity of a flooding event more probable. A structural examination of the narratives and a comparison of their …

A Mermaid’S Tale: The Evolution Of The Representation Of Mermaids In Popular Culture, Melissa Jones
A Mermaid’S Tale: The Evolution Of The Representation Of Mermaids In Popular Culture, Melissa Jones
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

Scandal: Public Reactions To Two Famous Affairs In History, Caroline Nowlin
Scandal: Public Reactions To Two Famous Affairs In History, Caroline Nowlin
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
The way in which we react to scandals reveals fundamental truths about us as a society, allowing us a new lens with which to critique the world around us. This is as true today as it was in 18th-century France and 19th-century England, when the Diamond Necklace Affair and the Queen Caroline Affair wreaked havoc on the social and political climate in their respective countries. The public’s response to each of these scandals exposed deep-set frustrations and discontent with their leaders, government, and society.
"Why, If Things Are So Good, Are They So Bad?" Magnitogorsk, Stalin’S Five-Year Plan, And American Engineers, 1928–1932, Landen J. Kleisinger
"Why, If Things Are So Good, Are They So Bad?" Magnitogorsk, Stalin’S Five-Year Plan, And American Engineers, 1928–1932, Landen J. Kleisinger
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
This article focuses on Magnitogorsk, the Magnetic Mountain, the practical and symbolic crux of Stalin’s Five-Year Plan. To Stalin, the Magnetic Mountain and the instant industrial city of Magnitogorsk would help materialize the radical dream of the Soviet Union and eventually save it from invaders from the west. American involvement in early Soviet technological expansion has been historically hidden and ignored by American’s and Soviet’s alike. This article argues that while Stalin called for industrial expansion to outstrip the West, paradoxically it was Western engineers that made his progress possible.
Creating Killers: Stalin's Great Purge And The Red Army's Fate In The Great Patriotic War, Max Abramson
Creating Killers: Stalin's Great Purge And The Red Army's Fate In The Great Patriotic War, Max Abramson
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
This history of the Red Army as an institution is frequently described in terms of its proximity to the Stalinist purges. Especially in wartime, the strategic deployment of terror begs the question of whether it was an effective motivational technique compared to other methods of non-coercive motivation such as propaganda or awards of medals. Examining various case studies and memoirs, it becomes clear that terror tended to reduce morale and group cohesion, while positive motivators were far more effective at ensuring an effective fighting force. When the Red Army soldiers feared being caught in the net of terror, they were …
The Dieppe Raid: Avoidable Disaster Or Lesson In Amphibious Assault?, Jennifer Munson
The Dieppe Raid: Avoidable Disaster Or Lesson In Amphibious Assault?, Jennifer Munson
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
During World War II, the allied forces mounted an amphibious assault on the occupied French coastal town of Dieppe. Since its execution, the raid on Dieppe has become a very controversial topic. The operation had an abundance of flaws that caused many casualties. This paper analyzes both issues and who, if anyone, should have been held responsible.
Aggression Or Desperation: Reevaluating The Soviet Motivations For Invading Afghanistan, Kyle Sallee
Aggression Or Desperation: Reevaluating The Soviet Motivations For Invading Afghanistan, Kyle Sallee
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
The pervading historical viewpoint of the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 has centered on the notion of Soviet expansionism and aggression. Yet recently declassified Soviet documents offer new insights into the motivations for the invasion and necessitate the review of existing historic accounts of the Russo-Afghan War. Utilizing declassified Politburo memos, secret Soviet letters and telegrams, and news reports, this essay sheds light on the heated debate amongst the Soviet intelligentsia over its Afghanistan policy and questions the Western interpretations and responses to the invasion.
Scandalous By Profession: Opera In Eighteenth-Century Europe, Felicity Moran
Scandalous By Profession: Opera In Eighteenth-Century Europe, Felicity Moran
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
Opera, as one of the most important art forms of the eighteenth century, bequeathed to its singers a strong position of prestige. And yet, a stigma of social disreputability hung over these same performers. This article examines that paradox first by looking at the importance of opera in the cultural centers of Naples, Paris, and London. From this foundation follows a closer study of the origins of stage performers, and from there, an examination of the on and off-stage behavior of opera singers in the eighteenth century that contributed to the negative image they projected onto society. Finally, the article …
Why Hannibal Lost The Second Punic War, Ho Yee Lam
Why Hannibal Lost The Second Punic War, Ho Yee Lam
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
In the Second Punic War, Hannibal planned to feed his army with the Roman grain supply, turn Italian cities against Rome, and seek reinforcements from any enemy of Rome. However, although Hannibalic tactics were ingenious in a short-term war, they were unsuitable for a long-term campaign. Unable to conquer mighty Rome, his plans backfired—especially in Spain and eventually in Africa, where Roman victories led to Carthage’s ultimate and total defeat. His ally, geography, turned into his enemy, because the war lasted far longer than he predicted and the Romans were able to use the great distance between Hannibal and his …
Rounsevelle Wildman: The Lone Ethnographer, Wen Li Teng
Rounsevelle Wildman: The Lone Ethnographer, Wen Li Teng
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
Rounsevelle Wildman (1864 – 1901), the United States Consul at Singapore, published a series of magazine articles documenting his experiences in the Malay Archipelago from 1893 to 1897. These articles, published in several travel-related magazines, feature Wildman’s observations of the Malay Archipelago and its varied peoples. The ethnographic perspective in these writings may be analyzed using Renato Rosaldo’s Lone Ethnographer concept, as presented in Culture & Truth: The Remaking of Social Analysis. This tripartite model concerns the ethnographic process, the role of ethnography in imperialism, and the relationship between the ethnographer and natives. Evaluating Wildman’s articles with this model, one …
