Diplomatic Disobedience In American History 1781-1807, Thomas Lynwood Powers

Honors Theses

The United States of America owes much to its disobedient diplomats. They secured for this country its independence and original boundaries and later gained the expansion of these boundaries.

The War Aims Of The Russian Provisional Government, Susan Parker

Honors Theses

The outbreak of the first World War marked the end of an era in the history of Euroe; nowhere was this to be more true than in Russia.

Anti-government and revolutionary activity had soon revived following the temporary hiatus after the seemingly successful Revolution of 1905, but it disappeared almost entirely in the rise of national feeling and loyalty that accompanied the declaration of war on August 1, 1914.
