Caucasian Battlefields
Author: William E. D. Allen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9780700716418
Category : Caucasus
Languages : en
Pages : 636
Book Description
First published in 1953. By the middle of the 18th century the borderlands of the Caucasus had become the point of confrontation for the ancient imperialisms of Turkey and Persia and the new imperialism of Romanov Russia. As a result of the two Russo-Turkish wars and a series of subsequent treaties, the Russians found themselves firmly established along the northernmost marches of the North Caucasus. The Tsar's forces embarked on a series of campaigns with the aim of expelling the Turks from the rest of the Caucasus. Caucasian Battlefields describes the chain of conflicts that marked the region for nearly a century, creating a remarkable military history with an unparalleled understanding of the terrain involved and an analysis of the unique interplay of a turbulent period in the struggles between the Great Powers, the consequences of which still exist today.

The First World War
Author: Antonello Biagini
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443886726
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 535
Book Description
This volume is the result of an international conference held at Sapienza University of Rome in June 2014, which brought together scholars from different countries to re-analyse and re-interpret the events of the First World War, one hundred years after a young Bosnian Serb student from the “Mlada Bosna,” Gavrilo Princip, “lit the fuse” and ignited the conflict which was to forever change the world. The Great War – initially on a European and then on a world scale – demonstrated the fragility of the international system of the European balance of powers, and determined the dissolution of the great multinational empires and the need to redraw the map of Europe according to the principles of national sovereignty. This book provides new insights into theories of this conflict, and is characterized by internationality, interdisciplinarity and a combination of different research methods. The contributions, based on archival documents from various different countries, international and local historiography, and on the analysis of newspaper articles, postcards, propaganda material, memorials and school books, examine the role of intellectuals and artists in the conflict, the issue of minorities and nationalities, the economy, and international relations and politics, in addition to specific case studies such as Russia and the Ottoman Empire, the Caucasus and the Middle East.

Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643507887
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
In Russia's cultural memory, the Caucasus is a potent point of reference, to which many emotions, images, and stereotypes are attached. The book gives a new reading of the development of Russia's perception of its borderlands and presents a complex picture of the encounter between the Russians and the indigenous population of the Caucasus. The study outlines the history of a region standing in between Russian reveries and Russian imperialism. (Series: Studies on South East Europe, Vol. 19) [Subject: History, Russian Studies, Ethnology]

The First World Oil War

ISBN: 1487500734
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
"Oil is the source of wealth and economic opportunity. Oil is also the root source of global conflict, toxicity and economic disparity. In his groundbreaking book The First World Oil War, Timothy C. Winegard argues that beginning with the First World War, oil became the preeminent commodity to safeguard national security and promote domestic prosperity. For the first time in history, territory was specifically conquered to possess oil fields and resources; vital cogs in the continuation of the industrialized warfare of the twentieth century."--
