International Law, German Submarines And American Policy, Janet Marilyn Manson Jul 1977

International Law, German Submarines And American Policy, Janet Marilyn Manson

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis is a survey of the available material on the submarine issue during 1914-1917 as a factor in German-American relations which contributed to the American declaration of war in April 1917. No other scholarly work is devoted solely to the submarine issue during this period. The purpose of this thesis is to focus on the submarine as an international legal issue. German-American relations were strained during 1914-1917, because of the different interpretations of international law regarding the submarine. And this thesis was written in order to test the existing historical interpretations of the submarine issue as a focal point …

Mission Of Mercy: The U.S. Military Mission In Berlin, 1919, Thomas R. Magnuson Jan 1977

Mission Of Mercy: The U.S. Military Mission In Berlin, 1919, Thomas R. Magnuson

Master's Theses

My topic for this thesis, the U. S. Military Mission in Berlin in 1919, was the organization responsible for tending to allied prisoners imprisoned in Germany after the First World War. Most of these prisoners were Russians cut off from their homes by the Russian Revolution and the allied strategy for containing the Soviet threat. At no time did the Mission's staff number over 1,000, but this small organization worked wonders in sustaining and repatri­ating thousands of non-American prisoners. The scope of the Mission's work created numerous problems in organization and presentation.

There were two organizations involved with the U. …


Treason And Talking: Three Wartime Broadcasters, Mary M. Roberts Jan 1975

Treason And Talking: Three Wartime Broadcasters, Mary M. Roberts

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Radio propaganda was one of the chief weapons of psychological warfare used by the Nazis. When Hitler came to power, one of the aims of Nazi propaganda was to make his new order acceptable to the powers abroad, before preparing the ground for his expansionist moves. The new ruler of Germany regarded propaganda, rather then diplomacy, as the more suitable instrument to attain the desired end.

As a result of this new weapon in propaganda, there came many problems for the home front. How could they maintain the faith and morale of the people being submitted to this constant barrage? …
