Texto completoAt the end of the 19th century, thanks to the evolution of telecommunications, military and naval circles rediscover cryptology, also known as “science of secret writing”, and become more and more interested by it. Its quick development in wartime can be depicted by the creation or expansion of several units, called “Cipher services”, in France and in the United Kingdom. These services have two missions: protecting the national and allied communications, and attacking the secret codes of the enemy. Their growth during the First World War illustrates the emergence of a brand new branch of intelligence and its reflection in counter-espionage: signals intelligence, or SIGINT. A comparison between the French and British Cipher services within their armed forces shows that there were similarities in the establishment of these services, particularly in recruiting personnel whom were subject to secrecy, although the temporalities of certain missions differed. Within the Entente Cordiale, a secret, joint and allied cooperation was established between the various French and British signals intelligence services. This alliance included the creation of shared codes, as well as the sharing of information resulting from the interception and decrypting of enemy communications. It thus highlights the importance of cryptology for the Franco-British alliance in the fight against the Central Empires, which can also be observed in their other alliances, such as the one with the Americans. It also sheds light on the extent to which this intelligence specialty took on in the conduct of the war, which explains the shape taken by the French and British Ciphers after the war

Texto completoThe thesis aims to reveal the role of the Hellenic decision makers concerning the constitution of the Hellenic Navy and the Hellenic naval power during the 1900-1913 era. It is worth pointing out that an unknown low rank officer of Hellenic Navy, Sub-lieutenant Periklis Argyropoulos, played a crucial part, both theoretical and practical, towards the direction of Hellenic naval power in the Aegean Sea. Especially, by his “Naval Program of Greece (1907)”, he established the strategic doctrines and tactic movements for Admiral Pavlos Koundouriotis, a fundamental hero of the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) and also contributed the most by using his personal influence to the purchase of the battleship-cruiser “G. Averof” (1910), which proved out to be the predominant factor for the Hellenic naval dominance in the Aegean. However, the thesis focuses also at the strategic thoughts of the Great Powers and especially Great Britain, which estimated quite realistically the Greek triumphs of the Balkan Wars at sea and by a number of secret memorandums in the period between June 1912 and January 1913, revealed her geopolitical desires concerning the future role of Hellenic Navy
Beckert, Guillaume. "La solidarité en temps de guerre 1914-1918". Thesis, Le Mans, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LEMA3003.
Texto completoSolidarity is a phenomenon that pushes people to help each other. We have defined it as "a homogeneous group of individuals who come together to face an adversity". After a study on pre-war natural disasters (earthquakes in southern Italy in december 1908 and in southern France in june 1909), we noted points of convergence between the solidarity needs expressed there and those that can be found during the First World War: high mortality, search for the missing, many wounded, presence of people in need of refuge, and finally the intervention of the French Red Cross. This observation is all the more important as it was on these bases that solidarity was organized during the Great War. The First World War began with a disaster, to which France, against all expectations at the time, was not ready. The first few months see all the elements mentioned above appear. This was not planned, and requires the intervention of the people « at the rear » to get out of this situation. At the beginning of 1915, a war solidarity society gradually established itself. The State progressively, regulated the phenomenon, and this leads, because of charity scams, to a series of laws covering the whole of society. As we went along, we detailed the main solidarity phenomena that are specific to each year, and demonstrated a real increase in the phenomenon throughout the conflict, of which the massive involvement of the American Red Cross is one of the highlights

Texto completoFrom 1914 to 1918, the West of France welcomed a great many displaced populations. Among them, the refugees, the prisoners of war and the civilian prisoners where the most numerous group. The sense of nationhood implied free and spontaneous integration of refugees and repressive rejection of those belonging to enemy nations. The refugees, considered locally as "foreigners", were generally warmly welcomed whereas those coming from enemy countries where immediately considered as "undesirables". However, from the end of 1914, the hopes to have a short war where shattered and the coming back on the forefront of material and manpower concerns led to a change in opinions and attitudes. The refugees where less warmed spontaneously welcomed and where often confined to groups of huts while the prisoners of war and the civilian prisoners were massively integrated into the local economy and appreciated as workers. This evolution proved that at the beginning of the century the sense of nationhood was an ideal cut out for a short war

Texto completoDuring the First World War mere of five millions of British soldiers came in France inside a vast army concentrated on the Northern part of the country. As a matter of fact the war can be seen like the first franco-british encounter at verry large scale. Through the evolution of the French representations of their British allies, this thesis examine the impact of the shared experience of the Great War and the presence of British troops on the French soil not only on diplomacy and military relationship between the two countries, but also their social, economic and cultural consequences on the inhabitants of Norhern France. Behind the lines, civilian population is, indeed, constantly in relation with British troops. And, quickly, the British prensence let his mark on this territory

Texto completoThe Great War (1914-1918) was commemorated in 1994 on the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the conflict. The diocese of Rodez and Vabres was not touched by the fighting but experienced numerous temporary disruptions. Monseigneur de Ligonnes, bishop of Rodez and Vabres paid a not insignificant role during the conflict with the population of the diocese and with the soldiers. For them, he was always and in any situation, as a bishop and a father, providing them with the means in his power to overcome the difficulties of the ordeal. Faith offered refuge or hope to a good number of soldiers. Facing the large increase of priests and seminarists, it was the whole diocese that was touched by this conflict. The diocesan church participated in the war effort; it was engaged in a sort of holy union for the homeland. The population of Aveyron knew howx to help the families of the mobilised as much as the soldiers themselves. Numerous was charities appeared throughout the county, a spirit of prayer emerged. The life of the parishes was perturbed, but laymen sometimes replaced the clerics

Texto completoThe great war contributed to change in a considerable way the perception of the injury and illness by the medical world. The projectiles penetrated the head, the stomachs, the chest and the limbs of the men who had the responsability of fighting, inflicting appalling traumatisms to them. The therapeutics answers brought by the doctors during the great war reveal a disruption in the medical stands. The early therapeutic interventionism imposed itself in most cases, except in the one of the limb surgery for which conservatism imposed itself, thus rejecting the excessive interventionism. The doctors found themselves confronted to two big epidemics : malaria and influenza, and two long phases of illness : tuberculosis and gas attacks. The therapeutic contents implemented by the medical world bring to the fore that the classical method which already existed before the war dominated, thus allowing some continuity with pre-war years. The injuries but also the illness imposed to the fighters the degeneration of their bodies. The pre-war years revealed also the persistency of some therapeutic archaisms, it also brought out some innovations whose spreading remained very limited for its greatest part, and from which the pre-war years did not always beneficit

Texto completoOne hundred years after what remains of the First World War? Many traces ( Cemeteries, trenches, monuments and some concrete positions ), many various ways of statements ( Accounts of veterans or civilians, novels, military note books, paintings, songs ..) disclose an history which shattered the World.Today, many projects tried to make an easy access to this history, projects that the Centenary of the war has strongly boosted, causing the revival of its joint memory. The concept of landscape of memory make us aware of the Geography of memory. First of all, because today the landscape as we see it show us a part of our history and inscribed us in that history. It is the last witness of the Great War. Then, because of contemporary memorial practice, and especially those of local authorities, are tightly connected to landscape practice experience. These practice are plural, they are in the meantime patrimonial, cultural, tourist and as a matter of fact territorial. They necessary ask the question of landscape concept interest in its theoretical and practical dimension

Texto completoIn 1914, the French artist, Jean-Louis Forain (1852-1931), who became famous for his satiric drawings published in le Figaro, and who was also a respected painter, was 62 years old. Nevertheless, he did not hesitate to enlist in the army and participated in the first experiences of camouflage. In august 1915, he was promoted to the rank of "inspecteur general" in the French army's camouflage section, which united many artists with whom he worked on the French and Italian fronts. At the same time, he continued working as a draughtsman for the press. This study is divided into three parts. The first part presents "the artist as an enlisted man" in uniform, the war correspondent providing weekly graphic commentaries of current events to L'Opinion, Le Figaro, and Oui (later called L'Avenir), and the painter haunted by the war and participating in French and foreign artistic life whose new expression found its origin in world war i. The second part shows "the artist as a witness", through the analysis of war works (themes, titles and sub-titles attached to the drawings, lay out and iconography, techniques used), and brings to light his graphic and pictorial qualities. The third part shows "the artist recognized" by the public, collectors, other artists, and the impact of his war work until the present. A confrontation of Forain's drawings and the narratives of fighting men show the intense and human truth expressed throughout his work and explain the success and interest that it raises. Compared to the work of Goya and Rouault, the war cycle by Forain reveals an artist who is deeply nationalistic and Christian. One volume catalogue of Forain's 336 war works.

Texto completoWhen the war strikes in August 1914 Italy remains neutral. When pressurised by the terrific German army on its own land France strives for calling its “roman sister” on its side from the very first hours of the conflict. French leaders intend to use Italians’ ambitions in the whole Balkans especially in the area along the Adriatic east coasts from Istria to the straits of Otrante. Aware that the Italian step in war lies in this area the French, and especially Delcassé, allow the Italians to settle on the Dalmatia coasts and to put Albania under its supervision, which violates nationalities principles and Serbs ambitions. The Treaty of London engraves in stone the Italians’ ambitions that are now furiously defended by Sydney Sonnino. However the conflict developments impact both political and strategic environments in 1915. The Yugoslavian idea gets then a greater interest. This project aims at creating a state laying along the Adriatic coasts from the Slovene regions to Albania and including Montenegro. Although the Yugoslavian idea gives the French the opportunity of getting a new ally in the Balkans it worries the Italians because it questions their ambitions. The French and Italian arguments grow and the political, diplomatic and military corps split up while leaders try to compromise. The problem caused by the Yugoslavian idea to both nations sheds light not only on the strong differences in their politics but also on the mental representations weight, which does not ease the quieting down during the 1919 peace negotiations. The first World War is not a mere vicissitude in the French and Italian couple but it is rather a fundamental turn in the history of their tumultuous relationships

Texto completoMy research aims at reconstructing the role of Catholicism in the war legitimation and in the fatherland sacralisation within the Archdiocese of Florence and during World War I. The analysis of a limited sample allows to carry out an accurate verification of the ecclesiastical teachings as well as the national ideology on social tissue. The above told study points out a “war religious culture”: that is a group of representations, ritual practices, behavioural stereotypes based on Christian faith and on patriotic belief. All that was diffused by the ecclesiastical Authority and accepted – according to a certain autonomy – by the different branches of the Catholic world (secular clergy, religious orders, laity). The matter we face with focuses on the ways and limitations by which the Church created a spiritual consent around the war and gave a particular value to the military struggle against the Austro-German enemy, influencing people’s imagery and collective behaviours

Texto completoThis doctorate is a study of the Irish catholic church in time of war. The first world war broke out at a moment when the British parliament in London, thanks to the efforts of the nationalist party, was about to grant Ireland home rule. The Irish catholic church, generally in favour of home rule, played an important role in the country and supported the nationalist party's initial endeavours in the war effort. However, it soon appeared that the church's support was determined by the attitude of the British government towards nationalist Ireland and her recruits, and also by the position of the protestant unionists who opposed home rule. In fact, the war gradually provoked a split between the church and the party, which benefited Sinn Féin. Amidst these events, one prelate distinguished himself: mgr. Edward O'Dwyer, the bishop of Limerick. The latter systematically opposed the nationalist party and the British government. These changes in Ireland were closely followed by the Vatican, bringing about the emergence of a new relationship between the holy see and Ireland. Finally, the belligerent powers perceived Ireland and her catholic church as important pawns capable, according to them, of changing the course of the conflict
