By Jennifer L. Foray
This ebook explores how the reviews of worldwide warfare II formed and reworked Dutch perceptions in their centuries-old empire. targeting the paintings of top anti-Nazi resisters, Jennifer L. Foray examines how the struggle pressured a rethinking of colonial practices and relationships. As Dutch resisters deliberate for a postwar international bearing little resemblance to that of 1940, they estimated quite a lot of chances for his or her empire and its territories, looking forward to a newly harmonious courting among the Netherlands and its so much prized colony within the East Indies. even though many of the underground writers and thinkers mentioned during this publication eventually supported the belief of a Dutch commonwealth, this constitution would not come to go within the postwar interval. The Netherlands as a substitute launched into a violent decolonization technique caused through wartime stipulations within the Netherlands and the East Indies.

Geschichtschreibung und Geschichtsbewußtsein im hohen Mittelalter
Der Gegenwartsbezug jeder Geschichtsschreibung ist bislang kaum systematisch untersucht worden. Das in diesem Buch behandelte hohe Mittelalter, eine wichtige "Umbruchs- und Krisenzeit" in der Geschichte sowohl des Denkens wie des Handelns innerhalb der Epoche des Mittelalters, eignet sich für einen solchen Ansatz in besonderer Weise: Es warfare, was once die gebildeten Schichten anbelangt, unbestritten eine Epoche hohen Geschichtsbewusstseins, die erstmals seit der Spätantike wieder große geschichtstheologische Synthesen, zum Beispiel bei Hugo von St.

Hitler now put into effect his plans – formulated the previous October – for a military administration of the Low Countries and France; on May 15, he announced that Wehrmacht General Alexander von Falkenhausen would serve as military commander for both Belgium and the Netherlands.
