  • Civil Wars: What Is Wrong with History'

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Javier Rodrigo, David Alegre
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      Civil wars constitute an element without which the history of humanity is incomprehensible. Since 1917, they alone claimed some 20 million lives and displaced 67 million people, standing alone as the undisputed primary form of armed conflict worldwide since the end of the Second World War. Their definition is crucial to understand them and to place them within intrastate and transnational policies. However, in its definition, the historical dimension has been systematically undervalued. In this paper, we address both a history of the concept and the elements that, in our opinion, help defining civil wars in historical terms.

  • Through Artillery from Thrust to Fire: How Prussian Military Thinking
           Anticipated Emergent Warfare in 1870

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Thorsten Loch, Agilolf Kesselring
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      Reassessing the reasons for the German military success over France in War of 1870 up to the Battle of Sedan, we relate on publications of contemporary artillery generals, such as Kraft zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen and put the topic into the broader context of warfare since the 1866 German War. We reject the idea of success, being simply based on armament or a special ‘soldierly spirit’, but argue that the main reason for military success was based on reorganization of the Prussian artillery, which paved the way to the future ‘battle of combined arms’ and the dominance of fire over thrust.

  • ‘Boys, Don’t Be Conscripted!’: Military Service and Cultural
           Perceptions of the Draftee in America, 1917–1918

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Sebastian H. Lukasik
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      This article examines the dominant cultural perceptions of the draftee in America during the First World War. It argues that the cultural stigma Americans attached to the stock figure of the draftee functioned as a significant source of opposition to the Selective Service System the US government implemented in 1917 as its primary means of mobilizing military manpower. Ultimately, the cultural stigmatization of the draftee merged with other currents of opposition to conscription as a major barrier to the successful implementation of the draft in the years 1917–1918.

  • Becoming Chilean: Hipólito Gutiérrez and the Construction of Chilean
           National Identity During the War of the Pacific (1879–1881)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Stefan Aguirre Quiroga
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      This article investigates a memoir written in 1881 by Hipólito Gutiérrez, a semi-literate man from rural Chile, about his experiences as a soldier in the War of the Pacific (1879–1884). Through a microhistorical approach, it seeks to contextualize the memoir with the aim of uncovering how Gutiérrez constructed himself to be Chilean through his participation in the war. Unlike assessments made by past scholars, Gutiérrez cannot be considered representative of Chilean peasant-soldiers. The memoir provides a window into which researchers can see agency in action by a subaltern actor and how national identity is constructed from below.

  • Perplexities Between Enemy Aliens and Their Motherland: The UK
           Government's Measures for British Civilians Stranded in the Far East,
           1941–2011

      Authors: Chan Yang
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      This paper explores the British government’s measures for its civilian subjects stranded as ‘enemy aliens’ in Japanese-controlled areas in the Far East during World War II. The British government tried to protect the interests of these Far Eastern subjects during the war and in the immediate postwar period. Its manner of dealing with the latter’s redress movement from the late 1980s was initially reluctant but eventually became relatively adequate, thanks to the twin pressures of domestic public opinion and precedents set by other former Allied governments and the resolute struggles of the ex–Far Eastern subjects themselves.

  • The Neglected Campaign: The Italian Navy Contribution to the Siege of
           Leningrad

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Massimiliano Fiore
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      German and Finnish forces encircled Leningrad in the fall of 1941, but were unable to complete the siege. A passage across Lake Ladoga, through which the Soviets sustained the defence of the city, remained open. To enforce the siege, the German Maritime Warfare Command ordered that light naval forces be transferred to Lake Ladoga. However, the Germans did not have those boats at their disposal and asked the Italians to provide them. Based on a critique of archival sources, this article analyses this largely neglected aspect of the Leningrad campaign and argues that, although the performance of the Regia Marina was excellent, its activity was not decisive in breaking Soviet resistance and forcing the fall of Leningrad. Even though circumstances prevented the Regia Marina from making the impact that its planners had wanted – a naval guerrilla force on Lake Ladoga could never have achieved a tight blockade of Leningrad – the campaign on Lake Ladoga offers an important and enlightening example of Axis wartime collaboration.

  • Hermann von Boyen the Elder and his Impact on the Prussian Army After 1815

      Authors: Jacek Jędrysiak
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      Author of Hermann von Boyen's biography, Friedrich Meinecke stated that the contributions of Prussian twice (1815–1819 and 1841–1847) Minister of War to the military theory were almost completely forgotten. Despite the existence of many thousands of manuscript pages, this opinion is still considered valid to this day. The chief architect of the Landwehr system was also the founder of the concept of the ‘defence system’, crucial to understanding Prussian military thought in the first half of the nineteenth century. This idea influenced, in my opinion, the way of thinking about warfare within the Prussian Army far more than the Carl von Clausewitz's Vom Kriege.

  • Between Preventive Attack and Collaboration: British Military Planning on
           Spain, 1940–1944

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Juan José Díaz Benítez
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      In the early stages of the Second World War, Spanish dictator Francisco Franco and key regime figures were tempted to enter the war on the Axis side. This temptation was a serious concern for British wartime strategy. This article studies the British military operations prepared to confront the possibility of Spain entering the war between 1940 and 1944. These operations aimed to protect Gibraltar, maintain access through the Strait of Gibraltar, and reduce the Axis threat to maritime communications in the eastern Atlantic. The article sheds new light on three issues: the balance of advantages and disadvantages that the plans entailed and the preparations to carry them out; the simultaneity of planned operations to cooperate with the Spanish Armed Forces and ones to confront them; and the importance of Spanish non-belligerence as a differential factor with respect to other neutral European countries.

  • The Transformation of Cattle Feet to Torpedo Oil: A Case Study in Nazi
           German Wartime Recycling

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Chad B. Denton
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      In January 1940, the Wehrmacht had only a two-month supply of torpedo oil, an irreplaceable lubricant derived solely from the feet and shinbones of slaughtered cattle. The Wehrmacht resolved this shortage by appointing the man responsible for its supply during the First World War: Alfons Knetsch. This case study shows not only the importance of knowledge transfer from one war to the other but also how competing industrial interests shaped Nazi recycling policy and how an efficient, vigorously managed recycling organization could buy time for the research and development of substitutes, overcoming seemingly impossible raw material bottlenecks.

  • The Emergence of Maritime Polity in Goa (Tenth Century to Fifteenth

      Authors: Nagendra Rao
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      Scholars, who studied the nature of the Goa Kadamba polity, did not comprehend the fact that the Goa Kadambas exhibited the features of not only coastal polity but also maritime polity. At the same time, we accept the contention that the Shilaharas represented coastal polity while it lacked the features of a maritime polity. We support our argument by using the inscriptional data and foreign travelogue accounts, which exhibit the attempt of the Goa Kadambas to protect their maritime trade interest through their alliance with the Arab traders and maintaining a navy.

  • Crucial but Overlooked: The Italian Naval Contribution to the Conquest of
           Sevastopol

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Massimiliano Fiore
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      Axis land forces overran most of the Crimea in October 1941, but were unable to capture Sevastopol. Realizing that sea power was now necessary, Hitler ordered that light boats be transferred to the Black Sea. However, the Germans did not have a sufficient number of small boats at their disposal and asked the Italians to supply them. Based on a critique of archival sources, this article analyses this little-known aspect of the Black Sea campaign and argues that the Italian Flotilla made a crucial, although overlooked, contribution to Sevastopol's conquest, concluding that its activity prevented essential Soviet supply missions.

  • A Single Imperial Army' The Development of Australian Army Staff Training
           in an Imperial Context, 1919–1939

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Iain Farquharson
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      This article examines the development of Australian staff training across the interwar period. Focussing on the establishment of the Australian Command and Staff School in Sydney in 1938, this article argues that whilst still relying on British educational institutions, the Australian Army developed its own progressive form of officer education which reflected British and Dominion educational lessons from the First World War. By doing so, this article challenges our understanding of the interconnectivity of imperial forces and proposes a more nuanced, networked approach to officer training across the interwar period accounting for local defence priorities and national policies.

  • “Extremely Depressed with a Hopeless Outlook”: The Experiences of
           Psychologically Traumatized Nursing Sisters During and After the First
           World War

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Lyndsay Rosenthal
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      During the First World War, 2,845 women served as nursing sisters with the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Although the majority of those who enlisted had pre-war training, these experiences did not prepare them for the severity of the injuries they treated, the relentless pace of the work, and the pressures of working within a warzone. How did these women cope with the traumas they witnessed during their service when they returned home' Of the 842 nursing sisters who applied for a pension, 143 (16.7%) reported ongoing mental and nervous illnesses. The postwar experiences of these women reveal some of the traumas and challenges that military nurses faced overseas and when they returned home.

  • ‘Enough to be Seen to be Onside but Hardly Substantial'’: RAF Bomber
           Command and Operation Husky

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Richard J. Worrall
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      This article considers the operations of RAF Bomber Command in support of Operation Husky. Earmarked to play a considerable supporting role, the piece goes on to examine how valid operational difficulties, rather than the usual supposed notion of Sir Arthur Harris’ aversion to bombing Italy, would conspire to blunt its full participation. In attempting to get around these obstacles, Sir Arthur Tedder proposed a number of solutions, ranging from aircraft loans to having a Lancaster detachment in North Africa, but the Air Staff always supported the Commander-in-Chief Bomber Command in the continuation of the air campaign against Germany.

  • Improvising Language Capability: The British Army's Corps of Interpreters,
           1914–1915

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Jim Beach, James Bruce
      Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
      This article examines the British army's short-lived Corps of Interpreters on the Western Front during the early stages of the First World War. It begins by establishing a benchmark for the regular army's French language capability in 1914. It then explores the interpreters’ recruitment process, employment, and the corps’ subsequent dissolution. Further insight into their motivation and suitability is then determined through a prosopographical analysis of their backgrounds and accounts of their employment. Overall, the article provides an important case study of the pitfalls of improvising military language capability during a crisis.
