How The Franks Became Frankish: The Power Of Law Codes And The Creation Of A People, Bruce H. Crosby Nov 2020

How The Franks Became Frankish: The Power Of Law Codes And The Creation Of A People, Bruce H. Crosby

Honors College Theses

During the fifth century, many Germanic peoples in Roman service assumed control over vast swathes of the Western Empire. Among these peoples were the Franks, who lend their name to the modern European nation of France. Thus, a question arises regarding how this came to be: how did illiterate tribes from Germania create a culture of their own that supplanted the Romans? Through an analysis of Frankish legal texts like the Lex Salica and the Capitularies of Charlemagne, this paper argues that the Franks forged their own identity by first formalizing their Germanic customs in the early sixth century …

Skepticism And Exposure: Television Coverage Of The Vietnam War, Ryan Singsank Nov 2020

Skepticism And Exposure: Television Coverage Of The Vietnam War, Ryan Singsank

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

As the United States was expanding its role in the Vietnam War, television sets were increasingly becoming integral components in many American households. With more Americans tuning into news programs, television presented continual reminders to the public of the expanding US involvement in Vietnam, and the sacrifices that came with war. Unlike any prior American war, the sights and sounds from the war in Vietnam unfolded in the living rooms of the American public. Combined with critical analysis by reporters both on the frontlines and in studios, the reports from Vietnam would leave a lasting impression for many Americans. This …


The Cataclysmic Desire For Power: The Irish Rebellion Of 1641, Clare Marie Nee Nov 2020

The Cataclysmic Desire For Power: The Irish Rebellion Of 1641, Clare Marie Nee

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

The Irish Rebellion of 1641 is particularly vital to understanding the political, religious, and social tensions that still remain an issue today in Northern Ireland. This essay investigates the tensions between the English and the Irish, and determines that there is not one single cause that fueled the tensions, but rather that it is a culmination of religious, social, and economic circumstances that led to the devastation of the rebellion on both sides of the war.


Tanzanian Rule While Zanzibar Plays The Fool? The Invalidity Of Zanzibari Unease Over Tanzanian Mainland Dominance, 1964–1991, Bhadrajee S. Hewage Nov 2020

Tanzanian Rule While Zanzibar Plays The Fool? The Invalidity Of Zanzibari Unease Over Tanzanian Mainland Dominance, 1964–1991, Bhadrajee S. Hewage

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

On April 26, 1964, the People’s Republic of Zanzibar merged with the Republic of Tanganyika to form the Tanzanian Union. Yet the circumstances surrounding the formation of this Union and the nature of the Union itself raise several unanswered questions. Indeed, some Zanzibaris fear that their island archipelago has been effectively “taken over” by Tanganyika through the guise of the Union government of the Tanzanian mainland. This manuscript explains how Zanzibari fears over the archipelago’s usurpation have no basis since the current and evolving nature of Zanzibar’s autonomy and legal rights have enabled the islands to become a strong player …


A Struggle For Collective Memory: Sacrifice, Healing, And The Legacy Of D-Day In Bedford, Va, Richard E. Martin Nov 2020

A Struggle For Collective Memory: Sacrifice, Healing, And The Legacy Of D-Day In Bedford, Va, Richard E. Martin

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

The town of Bedford, Virginia suffered more casualties proportionately than any other American community during the World War II D-Day invasion of June 6th, 1944, in Normandy, France. Nineteen of thirty-five Bedford residents who served in Company A, 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Division, of the Army National Guard were killed in battle. In the immediate aftermath, the townspeople were devastated, and had to mourn and continue their lives as best they could. As the years and decades passed, the ways in which the survivors dealt with their losses changed. Many of the townspeople never got over …


The Lavender Scare: How Fear And Prejudice Impacted A Nation In Crisis, Erin Owens Nov 2020

The Lavender Scare: How Fear And Prejudice Impacted A Nation In Crisis, Erin Owens

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

The Cold War time period was marked by fear and uncertainty. This was reflected by the treatment towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals in the political and social spheres, known as the Lavender Scare. Policies such as Executive Order 10450 (1953) and the 1947 Sex Perversion Elimination Act prevented LGBTQ+ individuals from gaining meaningful employment and further complicated social stigma of gayness. The policies were primarily enacted to use queer individuals as scapegoats for the panic of the time and conflated the perceived moral corruption of Communists with the perceived moral corruption of LGBTQ+ individuals. The policies …


Surface Ships: The Kriegsmarine’S Downfall During The Second World War, Calen J. Crumpton Nov 2020

Surface Ships: The Kriegsmarine’S Downfall During The Second World War, Calen J. Crumpton

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

This manuscript details the German naval plan against the UK, and explores the statistics as well as leadership in the Kriegsmarine that prove why the German naval strategy during the Second World War was majorly flawed. Germany was a surprisingly powerful nation in the late 1930s and early 1940s. As a nation under National Socialism, Germany had defeated and occupied large swaths of mainland Europe. Germany had taken control of France, Poland, Austria, and a majority of Scandinavia, as well as advancing allied interests in the area through Spain and Italy. The only problem that Germany had was the United …


Pen Replacing Looms And Needles: Emergence Of Female Authors And Authority In Renaissance Europe, Anwita Roy Nov 2020

Pen Replacing Looms And Needles: Emergence Of Female Authors And Authority In Renaissance Europe, Anwita Roy

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

In Renaissance Europe gender discriminations were put aside when women of upper classes were prodigiously included in the “Reformist Movement,” allowing the spread of female literacy and writing throughout Europe. However, these measures still encountered frequent contemporary criticism and prevalent masculine oppression. This paper traces the possible reasons behind the encouragement provided to women during a time when education was limited to men. It will attempt to examine how these women profited from the educational endeavors they were provided with, the way they advocated the need to educate themselves, and how they responded to the criticism received from the society.


Divine Suppressors: Bigamy In The Eighteenth-Century Criminal Justice System, Luke Hs Horton Nov 2020

Divine Suppressors: Bigamy In The Eighteenth-Century Criminal Justice System, Luke Hs Horton

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

The criminal justice system in eighteenth-century England was an integral part of European society. The legal system had always been associated with several facets of everyday life and touched upon the lives of those in every class of European society. One of England’s oldest and most significant courthouses was the Old Bailey, which held thousands of trials and sessions over the two hundred and forty years it was active. Out of the wide variety of cases to choose from, ten sexual offences revolving around bigamy were selected to present how the criminal justice system leaked into different areas of life. …
