Full textIn the second half of the nineteenth century the Zanzibar Sultanate became the focal point of French as well as British imperial and humanitarian policies. In fact, the island was not only the most important slave trade emporium of the Indian Ocean but it was also the great gateway to East Africa for slave traders, humanitarians, or imperialists alike. This thesis looks at the controversies which took place in Zanzibar waters between France and Britain over the right of searching vessels suspected of being engaged in the slave trade as well as the right of dhows to fly the French flag and escape the Royal Navy’s scrutiny. This research highlights how important these questions were, not only for the relations of France, Britain, and the Zanzibar Sultanate, but also for international law and international relations up until the eve of the First World War. This work demonstrates that the anti-slave trade operations which took place in Zanzibar inspired many navy officers, consuls, diplomats, Foreign Secretaries, and lawyers – whether British, French, or American – on the theory and the practice of “humanitarian interventions”. Indeed, the history of anti-slave trade operations implemented in the Zanzibar Sultanate sheds a new light on the history of the concept of humanitarian intervention, or “intervention in the score of humanity” – (“l’intervention d’humanité”) – as it was then called. This research underlines how these humanitarian interventions unceasingly swung between genuine humanitarian ideals and pressing imperial issues
Majid, Abdul Majid. "Les relations entre l'Irak et la Grande-Bretagne de 1930 à 1952." Paris 1, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA010537.
Full textThe first part examines the situation of iraq from 1914 to 1918, the so-called period of occupation; then the factors and events which led to the placing of Iraq under British mandate, and the birth of the Irasi state in 1920. The second and third sections constitute a global and in-depth study of the negatiations which brought the two countries together in the signing of the treaty of 1930, iraqi relations with the league of nations and her entrance into this international group in 1932; the instability which has characterized the political life of the country following independence, and the advent of the phenomenon of coups d'état and other military putschs. We also reveal the political organizations which arose in the country. We review in greater detail the british oil interests in iraq and the franco-british rivalry over Iraqi oil. In the fourth part of our work, we examine first the deterioration in Iraqi-British relations following the ascension in Iraq of a government born of the military movement of 1941, a government largely based upon the political ideology of the axis countries. This situation provoked an armed confrontation with the british who invaded iraq for the second time. Finally, we discuss the post-war era which has characterized the political situation and the signing of the treaty of 1948

This study goes from the access of free-trade to governmental ideology, until the adoption of imperialism because of international economic competition. The thesis is divided in two parts. First, datas have been extracted from parliamentary papers. They are based on customs revenues reports, and their treatment lakes the variations of calculation and of units of money into consideration. They are completed by a full range of charts and diagrams. The statistical datas give annual general andper items imports, exports and reesports, from 1815 till 1900 : - of global trade of great-britain - trade between great-britain, india, china and hongkong. Second, commentaries on datas deal with questions of british commercial policy, business context in china and the results of british trade with asia

Full textThe Rhodesian Crisis was characterised for more than seventy years by ambiguous relations between the mother country and one of her colonies. Put into historical perspective it shows that the issue was marked by the nature and evolution of the British imperial idea. Rhodesia was a 'non-typical' colony. Since London considered Rhodesia as a Dominion, the Rhodesian Government was able to institute a political system based on racial segregation. At the same time, the interests of natives in the administration of the Colonies had become the core of the imperial idea. The institutionalisation of the Commonwealth of Nations was affected by Rhodesia's inability to carry out a post-colonial transition, as it was torn between white nationalism and imperial decolonisation

Full textThe object of this thesis is to outline the economical and diplomatic relationship between Great Britain and Morocco during the 19th and 20th centuries based on different social, political and economical affairs marking their relations. Its aim is to also bring forth the British interest in Morocco in a very specific international context and how the British politics towards this North African country did not exclude commecial policy. The different aspects of the British preponderance in Morocco during this period of history are approached from a thematic and chronological context underlying the British diplomatic double language which toggled between interference and suggestion until withdrawal was chosen for strategic and political reasons. Based on a multitude of sources, the goal of this study is demonstrate the impact of Great Britain politics on the history of the Cherifian Empire by bringing light into the important role played by other European countries in the British political evolution towards this Mediterranean country

Full textThe most Anglophile French king, Louis-Philippe (1830-1848), commences his rule inan Anglomaniac atmosphere. Throughout his reign though, several conflicts opposing Parisand London are the cause of an unfolding Anglophobic spirit. Starting off from these three feelings that are both distinct and interdependent, and in the perspective of the main contemporary trends like romanticism, nationalism and socialism, this thesis aims at studyingthe various representations of England during the July Monarchy. A study of the evolving Franco-British relationship from the Age of Enlightenment until the fall of the last Frenchking, is the background to this work: it helps understanding the judgment that the French exercised on their English neighbors during this period. Guidebooks published during the“King of the French” regime and writings from French travelers who expand on their discoveries and experiences of the English life within a “commercial and industrial England”,are then an object of analysis. A final aspect of this study focuses on their considerations with respect to the social state of this “industrial England”, in a context when France is pursuing apath of industrialization. Those diverse images about Great Britain extracted from French travelers’ publications are all pointing to the true motive of their stay across the Channel: a circumspect study of England that can be used to educate their own country, France, or eventhe whole world

Full textIn 1869 Thomas Cook arrived in Egypt with a group of 32 tourists. For 2,000 years Egypt and its monuments had attracted visitors. During the 20 years that followed the opening of the Suez Canal and that first organized tour, Thomas Cook & Son built hotels and agencies and organized steam boat services on the Nile. By the end of the 19th century they had turned Egypt into a major tourist destination. But the company's activities were not confined to tourism: between 1882 and 1886 it was involved in the setting up of the British military occupation. Most significantly the steamers and logistics set up in the Nile valley were used to convey the troops and stores of the 1884-85 Anglo-Egyptian Nile expedition to the Sudan. In the last decade of the 19th century the company continued to develop and diversify its activities, thus ensuring for itself a lastingly dominant position in Egypt. The economic benefits of this were felt all along the Nile valley. Despite the loss of its monopoly, none of its competitors were able to catch up with it. By introducing tourism into Egypt Thomas Cook was, in no small way, a modernizing force

Full textThis thesis studies the political and social function of the brother to an early modern European King through the case study of James Stuart, Duke of York and Albany, brother to Charles II of England. A multifaceted prince, he had to reinvent himself and evolve to overcome multiple crises while staying the king’s loyal second. He did so using his own experience and personal preferences, gradually shaping the function of brother to the King to mirror his identity. The Stuart brothers shared the Crown’s burden: Charles ruled England, the political and economic heart of the British Isles, while James managed the geographical and social fringes of the realm, ensuring their fidelity to the Crown. He did so by becoming gradually the main patron in the British Isles and the cornerstone of English diplomacy. By the end of the 1670’s, he was overseeing the essential part of the negotiations with the Catholic powers in Europe, while managing most of the appointments in the King’s army and the Royal Navy. His function, while informal, made him one of the main promoters of war and peace alike. This enabled him not only to keep his position at court, despite growing oppositions, but also to become increasingly powerful and irreplaceable. In doing so, he helped gradually integrate the British fringes, speeding up the unification of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This princely role, which was meant to broadcast an attractive public image, instead made James Stuart appear to the English population as a warlike, corrupted, and ominous prince, thus creating the black legend attached to him

Full textThis work examines the sexual mores of the working classes at the end of the Victorian era (1875-1901). The research is based on the study of private correspondences and testimonies found in the archives of the London Foundling Hospital, a charitable institute welcoming illegitimate children since the end of the eighteenth century. Thanks to these primary sources, we will bring to life certain elements of the past and rediscover key moments in the lives of young couples in London and its suburbs most of whom were working or lower middle class skilled workers who met in the busy streets of London. We will endeavour to paint a faithful portrait of the loving and sexual relations of these young British couples. This study is structured around three principal parts: firstly, we will construct a portrait of the population under study, evaluate the reliability of the sources available and focus on the historical and ideological context of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Secondly, we will interpret the private correspondences and examine what the male discourse tells us about the sexual mores of the couples under study. We will also look into the moral codes regulating love affairs during the period. We will bring this study to a close with a more theoretical approach to the sources enabling us to draw certain conclusions concerning the relationship between the sexes and the romantic ideal of the couples

Full textFrom 1864 to 1880, France underwent a series of profound changes, internal - the second empire ceded to a republic, which progressively took root - and external - the question of German unification overthrew the balance of power and went against France's own prestige. The specific role that France played, both in the interplay of nation states and in current affairs, did not leave England indifferent, proud as it was of it's own industrial, commercial and political pre-eminence. Franco-english relations did not experience any particular troubles in the period in question. However, in England numerous articles in the press, parliamentary and diplomatic archives, contemporary correspondence, travellers' accounts and tourist guides all demonstrate that public opinion was actively interested in the political and cultural choices taking place in France. The Victorians, more or less well-informed on the specificity of French culture, react only to what surprises them, following their own ambitions, fears and points of reference. After outlining the contours of public opinion and the image that it retains of the French, after observing English reactions to French home and foreign political policies, and considering English accounts written when in France, we must conclude that vigilance on behalf of the English was the order of the day. The foreign ambitions of the second Empire are denounced, as are the institutional procrastination of the Republic, the inertia of the State or the importance accorded to equality. The English are equally struck by the changeable humour of the French, but also impressed by the beauty of the landscapes, the jovial tenor of the press and the politeness of the people. If a scepticism remains, their reactions testify readily to the interest, fascination and astonishment France exerted on English public opinion

Full textBy studying the travel writings of North American merchants going to Great Britain between 1776 and 1815, we analyse the cultural transfers across the Atlantic and observe the growing emancipation of the young Republic from its former mother country. It appears that these merchants fully contributed to the creation of an American national identity. Their stay in Great-Britain undeniably encouraged this process, as it enabled visitors to measure themselves against a British « Other », to realise what made them truly American, to boast about their superiority, but also, as merchants, to defend specific values and a certain vision of the American society

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to compare the United Kingdom military nuclear policy with the French experience. Our work is a comparative and systematic analysis on 1939-1993 period: policy-making, strategic planification, nuclear warfare, strategy thinking and budget structure. In a first time, our demonstration was to prove the intellectual and technical framework of French and British nuclear programs, from genesis to full development. Maturity of militaries bureaucracies fit with a period of military spending reduction. This cut in military budget is the main factor for the adaptation of the armies models. In a second time, we can notice that the weakness of political advantages gathred by our two countries has only very tiny linkage with the collapse of feature of operational nuclear warfare and alliance politics. From 1962 to 1993, the signification of the “special relationship” between the United Kingdom and the United State was only a situation of absolute dependence. The result of French “politics of … “

Full textZanzibar is at the XVIII and XIX centuries a sultanate controlled by Omani. For commercial reasons then strategic (sights on the Comoros and Madagascar, draft "disguised" towards the Reunion) France installs a consulate in 1844 which will last until 1904. Some tradesmen and missionaries are present, generally in a temporary way, in the island. But their action is diffuse and has few consequences on the political life of the island, contrary to some consuls. Privileging the European affairs, the various governments (Restauration, Second Republic, Second Empire) want, however to obtain an easy access to an agricultural labour for the French islands of the Indian Ocean and to avoid the interventions of Zanzibar in the Comoros and Madagascar. Having obtained satisfaction, the Third Republic will accept the British protectorate on Zanzibar in 1890 and will withdraw the island

Full textAt the beginning of the 19th century, persia had to confront an aggression of the russians, who had invaded georgia, armenia and caucasia. The shah, who had not enough forces to ward off the russian danger, had to call for help to france. France had been hoping to establish an alliance with persia in order to counterbalance the strong british position in india. At this moment, tripartite rivality (between great britain, france and russia) threw the persian empire into a conflict which is the subject of this thesis. The first part concerns the great powers'violations of the territorial integrity of the shah's empire which led us to analyse the reasons for this rivality, its evolution during the 19th century and the disastrous wars which persia was obliged to engage in, against russia and the united kingdom. The persian defeat, sanctioned by unfair treaties had two important consequences: first persia was carved up to profit russians and the british empire in india. Secondly it opened the way for the political and economic interference of the great powers in the internal affairs of persia. Thus, the second part of our study attempts to examine the domestic situation of this country, the state of its institutions, its governments and their reform efforts. The analysis of these elements shows that during the 19th century persia, theoretically an independent and sovereign state, was, infact, under anglorussian condominion

Full textThis thesis is a comprehensive study of the Arabo-Persian Gulf’s involvement in various ‘spacesystems’ —politico-administrative, economic, regional, and global— and the ensuing construction of the Gulf as a space. It aims to gather together the threads of two stories that are generally seen as separate, thereby illuminating the interactions between them. First, this thesis seeks to contribute to the understanding of British and Anglo-Indian imperialism in the Gulf: its operation, its spatial and ideological implications, and the ‘imaginaries’ it created. It reveals the politico-administrative and geo-symbolic creation of a space, the Gulf. Secondly, the aim is to emphasise, by examining various flows of products, the insertion of the Gulf into different economic areas, both at a regional and global level. The first volume (chapters 1 to 5), entitled“Spaces, Powers and Violence”, explains the setting of British and Anglo-Indian imperialism in the Gulf, through the use of different tools. The second volume (chapters 6 to 10), entitled “Flows, Connections and Internationalisation”, focuses on the growing internationalisation of the Gulf during the long nineteenth century, and on the gradual creation of what was, in the opinion of the author, a “composite” space, the Middle East. It is argued that the Middle East, centred on the Gulf, was empirically invented in India. Further, this second volume emphasises the insertion of the Gulf into what historians term “the expanding world economy”, through an on-going opening up of the region, and an increase in trade flows. At the same time, it recognises that economic links and interpenetrations with macro-regional areas remained strong

Full textThe pinnacle of the British Empire in the middle of the XIX th century coincides with the beginning of an era of economic free-trade that progressively stood out as a crucial doctrine and as an essential factor of British power. Organized by the City, the networks of the commerce and the international finance became a geopolitical instrument for the imperial territorial expansion. The junction between the economic dimensions and the strategic considerations was the central element of the British national project, offering a link between the domestic history and the foreign history of the United-Kingdom. Borne during the Pax Britanica, this link was but partially questioned by the First World War, which, contributed, however, to create the political and economic conditions that will lead to a new project for the British nation

Instead, it will be argued here that the impact of the Eastern Question in Britain goes well beyond 1880 and is both multi-faceted and extremely complex. Without down playing its diplomatic and geopolitical relevance, l will seek to assess its rhetorical, cultural and ideological influences on British politics

At the same time industrial countries embarked on the conquest of the Latin-American markets in order to sell their industrial production. What success and restrictions did French commerce experience into the Chilean market between 1880 and 1929, considering these structural changes ? In the first part of this study, one will analyse the structures of Chilean market. In the second part one will analyse the difficulty for French commerce to keep its share the Chilean market. Finally, in the third part one will study the organisation of French business in Chile

Full textIf we cast a global look on the practices through which, from the beginning of the movement in 1738, the Methodists deviated from Church of England’s (their « mother-Church »’s) orthodoxy, we can identify a common factor: a different conception of the ministries. It is on this single question that John Wesley and his disciples fundamentally diverged from the Church of England’s principles, since the father of Methodism considered that priests and bishops formed essentially a single “presbyter” order and consequentially had the same powers, including that of ordination. The Methodists also had a different conception of the Ministry of the Word, since they considered that God could call lay people to preach the Gospel. All the differences that arose between Methodism and the Church of England can then be traced to the question of the ministries. These differences continued after the death of John Wesley in 1791. Throughout the XIXt! h century, the two denominations grew further apart because of their disagreement concerning apostolic succession. In the 1950s and 1960s, however, the reunion of British Methodism and the Church of England in a single Episcopalian confession was contemplated but finally abandoned in 1972 because of the refusal of the Church of England’s Church Assembly and then of its General Synod to approve this union

Full textThis interconnected history study highlights the slow process of semantic stabilization of the term « geopolitics » through the study of its international transmissions between the creation of the German school of Geopolitik, which made it popular at the beginning of the 1920s, and the beginning of the Cold War, during which geopolitical theories influenced directly the Two Worlds' strategies.It shows how the reception of geopolitics, originally perceived outside Germany as a pseudo-science aiming at justifying pangermanism, evolved progressively towards fascination, generating imitation and reinvention attempts — which desperately tried to find non-German origins to the field to make it acceptable. That is how the British geographer Halford Mackinder was praised in the United States as the founding father of a field of study which he never claimed being part of. Far from having suffered outside Germany, as is sometimes narrated, from long ostracism ending only at the end of the 1980s, geopolitics seems eventually to have become a field of study as constantly controversial as it is attactive, both attitudes coexisting and reinforcing each other

Full textDuring the 19th century, modern sports can be considered, along with parliamentary government, as « France's most important import from Britain » (Isabelle and Robert Tombs). This study aims at understanding the ways and means of this cultural transfer. It deals with the diffusion of British sports (cricket, football, rugby…) in France, and it also addresses the modernization of some French games and leisures, such as horse racing, canotage or vélocipède, when they encountered the British sporting model. Our work is a contribution to French sport history, to Franco-British studies, and to the history of modern sports diffusion throughout the world. It relies on a sociocultural approach using sources and archives from both sides of the Channel. It analyses the circulation of practices, the role played by cultural go-betweens, the successes and the failures of transfers, as well as the imitations and changes in the appropriation of British sporting ethos in France

Full textThe evolution of the political presse between the two wars in iraq (1918-1938) intends to make a historical, social and political study of an important period of iraq's history. Firstly, we propose to study the british occupation, the 1920 revolution with the shiite involvement, and the forming of the iraqi state. We dwell upon the choice of faycal as king and the people's reaction to this. We make an important analysis of the mossoul question as well as the iraqi oil question. We study the political parties, their problems, personality of their leaders and analyse their failures, and also study and analyse the birth of the iraqi working class. Secondly, the british-iraqi treaties are analysed, along with the people's reaction. The kurd question is studied and analysed at length, outbursts of the kurd revolt are examined in detail, especially those led by sheikh mahmoud. We expose here our opinion on the failure of the kurd movement

Full textThe aim of my thesis is to realise an international relations study, which also includes a dimension of social history through the recruitment of these elites of civil society - the honorary consuls - who ensure the relay between the latter and the great career diplomacy. I propose to research the Romanian consular activity in the four great Western European powers - chosen, to balance, among two revisionist states, so eager to transform the balances put in place during the treaties concluding the First World War, and two states satisfied by these treaties - at all levels: economic, political, administrative and cultural. The rationale of my thesis articulates therefore consular diplomacy and great diplomacy and consists of evaluating their political convergence in favor of the great winners French and British or, conversely, the counterweight that this "minor" diplomacy could exert for the benefit of the frustrated German and Italian. The latter option is all the more interesting because Germany and Italy were Romania's main trading partners before 1914
