Amerikansk historie

Scores of biographies have been written about Winston Churchill, yet none examine his frequent, sometimes furtive, trips to the White House, where he resided for weeks on end-the (often unclothed) visitor who "dropped out of the sky." These extended visits during his two terms as prime minister were spirited, even entertaining, occasions. Yet, in retrospect, they take on a new level of diplomatic significance, demonstrating just how influential a foreign leader can become in shaping American foreign policy. Drawing on years of research, Robert Schmuhl not only contextualises the days Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower spent together, but also vividly portrays the individual characters, from Churchill himself-a devoted fisherman who never stopped "angling"-to a resentful Eleanor Roosevelt. Evoking an era far different from today, Mr. Churchill in the White House becomes an insightful work for our own fractious times.

The American Civil War is in full swing. Both sides need weapons; the South more than the North. In the mid nineteenth century Tyneside was an important centre for the manufacture of weapons. To stop the South buying these weapons the North has sent a diplomat and a secret agent to Tyneside to negotiate with Sir William Armstrong to stop the South purchasing the new Armstrong Gun; keeping the two side apart is a dangerous business. When the two sides do meet they are in for a shock. They have more in common than the fact they are Americans. By chance into this network of spies is drawn local actor and comedian Rowley Harrison aka Geordie Black. His local knowledge embroils him in an unexpected adventure. To the Americans Newcastle is full of quirky characters. They sing ,dance and never stop talking.

Peru is a land of majesty and wonder where myth, legend, and history all come together. And this book gives you a front-row seat!The land of Peru is one that, for many, seems far away and distant. Even for those living relatively nearby geographically, Peru can seem just out of reach. After all, Peru is situated high in the Andes on the western coast of South America. Those who dare to live at this high of an elevation have learned to live on their own terms.The Inca leader Manco II, for example, displayed his tenacity by heading a rebel kingdom in the depths of the Amazon even after much of the Inca Empire of his ancestors had been overrun by the Spanish conquistadors.Manco's struggle was later picked up by Túpac Amaru II, who waged war against the Spanish occupation. Túpac Amaru II would be captured and executed for daring to revolt against the Spanish Crown, but his legend would live on in the hearts and minds of Peruvians everywhere.Fast forward to Peru's independence from Spain, and one finds the heroic Simón Bolívar. He was pivotal in the independence of Peru, as well as a whole slew of Latin American countries, which he was put in charge of at various times during his dynamic career.Great heroes like Simón Bolívar certainly stand out, but so do other intriguing and captivating characters from Peru's past. From the great Inca ruler Atahualpa to Francisco Pizarro to modern-day Peruvian presidents like Alberto Fujimori and Dina Boluarte, Peru has quite a story to tell!In this book, you will learn about the following:The origins of Peruvian civilizationThe rise and fall of the Inca EmpireThe explorations of conquistadors like Francisco PizarroRevolutionaries like Túpac Amaru II and resistance to Spanish rulePeru's struggle for independenceThe War of the Pacific and Peru's relations with other Latin American countriesPeru's fight against narco-terrorists, such as Shining PathAnd so much more!

Die Geschichtswissenschaft diskutiert seit Jahren intensiv über die Genese, Formen und Folgen weltweiter Verflechtungen und Austauschprozesse. Die Forschungen und Debatten auf dem Feld der Globalgeschichte knüpfen an etablierte Traditionen der außereuropäischen Geschichte, der Geschichte der europäischen Expansion sowie der Geschichte einzelner Weltregionen an, führen jedoch konzeptionell und methodisch über diese hinaus. Dem Wandel des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses trägt die vormalige "Gesellschaft für Überseegeschichte" durch ihre Umbenennung in "Gesellschaft für Globalgeschichte" Rechnung. Im Zuge der konzeptionellen und methodischen Neuausrichtung der Gesellschaft wurde das Periodikum "Globalgeschichte / Global History" konzipiert, das in der Nachfolge des "Jahrbuchs für Europäische Überseegeschichte" (2001-2022) steht. "Globalgeschichte / Global History" bietet ein Forum für wissenschaftliche Aufsätze, Debattenbeiträge sowie Literaturberichte in deutscher und englischer Sprache, die Aspekte dieses ebenso vielfältigen wie dynamischen Forschungsfelds beleuchten.From the contents (altogether 11 contributions):Andreas Flurschütz da CruzDagmar Freist & Lucas Haasis, Die Prize Papers.
