The Fall And Rise Of Poland (1772-1918), Jerome Joseph Pelkowski

Bachelors’ Theses

Poland's impatience during the period of her decline had made her the tool of foreign powers, a pawn in the game of European diplomacy. The part that Russia played in the Seven Years Nar and the War of the Polish Succession made her the predominant power in Poland. Empress Catherine the Second of Russia knew how to make the most of that position. Of great ability and boundless ambition, it was her dream, by the conquest of Poland, Sweden and Turkey, to make of the Baltic and Black Seas Russian lakes. The Seven Years War, she thought, had put the …

Recommendation Letter For Bruno Schweizer From Karl Alexander Von Müller, April 9, 1936, Karl Alexander Von Muller

Bruno Schweizer

K.A. von Müller describes Bruno Schweizer's work at the South-Southeast Institute of the University of Munich and his focus on dialect and folk studies. He emphasizes Schweizer's knowledge and organizing skills and states that Schweizer only left the Institute due to its refocusing on ethnopolitical questions requiring knowledge of southern Slavic, Hungarian and Romanian languages. A strong recommendation, presumably written to the Ahnenerbe.

The French Revolution And Its Effect On 18th Century Europe, Ralph Renzel

Bachelors’ Theses

The France of the old regime was a very great and ancient structure -in building which fifty generations had been engaged for more than fifteen centuries. Each of these generations had left its mark upon it, always adding to the work of the past and hardly ever pulling down or removing anything. Moreover, its plan was confused, its styles were incongruous, and its parts lacked proportion. Some portions had been abandoned and threatened to fall into ruin; others were inconvenient; others were too luxurious. But, taking it all in all, the total effect was rich, the facade was imposing, and …

The Black Prince In France, Walter Charles Kitzerow

Bachelors’ Theses

When in 1337 the One Hundred Years' War no longer contented itself with casting dark shadows before, but actually reached its inception, he who was to become the most prominent figure in the conflict was, as yet, a lad of only eight years. Very likely no one but the boy himself, later to become known as the Black Prince, entertained the thought that he would play a conspicuous part in the struggle.

Irish Learning And Its Effect On The Carolingian Renaissance, Jane Donald

Bachelors’ Theses

When the Roman Empire disintegrated and its learning was, for the time, buried by an avalanche of barbarism, Ireland alone of the many provinces which had shared in its commerce and learning, was undisturbed. Ireland had a mission; it was to be the haven in which classical learning was kept alive and it was to be the means, when the time was ripe, of carrying this culture throughout Europe.

John Jacob Astor In Oregon, Linus A. Zadra

Bachelors’ Theses

The United States was yet a comparatively young nation in 1800. Although victorious in the war for independence, and although formally recognized ln the Treaty of Paris (1783), yet England did not treat her former colonies as a separate nation for her troops still occupied the American frontier posts at Mackinaw, Niagra, Detroit, and Oswego. The war, moreover, put a heavy burden of debt upon the United States. The country was on the verge of bankruptcy. Each colony floated its own issue of worthless paper money. There was little activity under these conditions along the frontier; hence, we find very …

Soviet Russia: An Interpretation, John J. Heeren

Open Learning Resources, General/Selected

Summary

This paper offers an interpretation of Soviet Russia, based upon several weeks of direct observation and investigation conducted in the summer of 1932. The Soviet Union presents itself as a colossal experiment in recasting human society along Marxian lines. The following pages examine both the philosophical underpinnings of Communism and the visible outworking of this revolutionary transformation. Impressive industrial centers reflect a Planned Economy of great ambition, yet marred by shortages, inefficiencies, and a reliance upon capitalistic methods such as piecework and wage incentives. Visible wealth and inequality have been replaced with widespread, uniform poverty. In the countryside, collectivization …

The English Traveller And The Movement Of Ideas 1660-1732, R. W. Frantz

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

During the span of years reaching from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth centuries, related forces persisted which gave to the voyage-literature of that day a distinctive pattern, both in thought and in form. Between 1660 and 1732 other forces began to act; and the result was an altered pattern. This change was due principally to the impetus which experimental science received during !the last half of the seventeenth century. The age which saw the rise of the Royal Society, the publication of Newton's Principia and Locke's Essay, the age, in other words, which conceived the world of nature and of …

In the process of …
