Strömsten, Henrik. "Military and Nature : An environmental history of Swedish military landscapes". Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-302652.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis, an environmental history of a selected number of Swedish military training environments, is based on observation of military landscapes with a permanent presence of military-related objects and activities, all of which leave their traces in the environment, and how continued military activity is legitimised with environmental arguments. By also observing military policies and documents, I look into how the Swedish military frame their own training environments, and how ‘environmentalist’ discourses is adopted to justify past and present activities. The military landscapes must also be considered in a wider context of geopolitics and security; hence I also include an historical analysis of military land appropriation and defense policy in Sweden. An important contribution with this thesis, besides provide a Swedish context to studies of military landscapes, lies also in testing a historical ecological framework in analyses and methods when approaching research on military landscapes, as I consider this thesis as a pilot-project on Swedish military landscapes providing incentives for further studies. The Swedish military landscapes studied in this thesis have both a centennial and decadal presence of military activities. Some training sites such as Marma and Revinge, which are also Natura 2000 areas, have had a military presence since the 19th century, and the various military structures and buildings promote a kind of military biography, an identity tied to landscapes, reinforcing military presence. The presentation of military sites as ecological refuges for rare species and habitats is evident in the management plans for the studied landscapes. The way military space is understood, legitimised and produced from the perspectives of the military policy level is, as I will argue, centred on two core motivations. First, it is that military presence in a landscape is the product of a militarisation processes, considering a geopolitical context and defense policies. The military presence has long-term effects in form of an alteration of physical nature and development of a high biodiversity. Second, the long-term positive effects, enhances an environmentalist discourse within the military when it comes to legitimise past and present military space, and to justify a continued military presence in a landscape.Denna uppsats, en miljöhistoria av ett utvalt antal svenska militära övningsområden, är baserat på en observation av militära landskap med en permanent närvaro av militärrelaterade objekt och aktiviteter vilka lämnar sina spår i miljön, och hur fortsatt militär aktivitet legitimeras genom miljöargument. Jag analyserar militära riktlinjer och dokument, för att se på hur svensk militär förhåller sig till dess övningsområden, och hur diskurser om miljövård används för att motivera fortsatt militär aktivitet. De militära landskapen bör studeras i en större geopolitisk säkerhetskontext; därför inkluderar jag också en historisk studie av svensk försvarspolitik och militära markanskaffningar. En viktig insats med denna uppsats, förutom att bidra med en svensk kontext till militära landskapsstudier, är att testa ett historiskt-ekologiskt ramverk i analys och metod vid studier av militära landskap då jag anser att denna uppsats är ett pilot-projekt för militära landskapsstudier i Sverige och ger incitament till vidare forskning i ämnet. De svenska militära landskapen som studeras här har upp till en hundraårig närvaro av militär aktivitet. Vissa övnings- och skjutfält såsom Marma och Revingehed, vilka också är Natura 2000- områden, har haft militär aktivitet sedan slutet av 1800- talet, och de varierande militära ytorna och byggnaderna främjar en militär biografi, en identitet knuten till landskapet, vilken förstärker fortsatt militär närvaro. Presentationen av de militära fälten som ekologiska refuger av sällsynta arter och habitat är uppenbar i skötsel- och vårdplanerna av de studerade landskapen. Sättet som det militära landskapet förstås, legitimeras och produceras ur militärperspektiv i policy och dokument är, som jag kommer argumentera, koncentrerade kring två faktorer. För det första, militär närvaro i ett landskap är ett resultat av en militariseringsprocess baserat på en geopolitisk kontext och försvarsbeslut. Militär närvaro har en långsiktig effekt i form av en förändring av den fysiska naturen och utvecklingen av en biologisk mångfald. För det andra, de långsiktiga positiva effekterna underbygger en naturvårdsdiskurs inom militären när det kommer till att motivera dåtida och nuvarande militär landskapsanvändning, och för att rättfärdiga en fortsatt militär närvaro.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis is an exercise in military history and takes the form of an investigation into a notable late-nineteenth century blunder; the British Army’s failure to relieve Gordon at Khartoum. It seeks to lay bare operational realities which to date have been obfuscated by substantially successful acts of scapegoating and cover-up. Although political procrastination in Whitehall did not abate until August, the thesis contends that a timely operation of war would still have been possible, if only General Lord Wolseley had recognized that the campaign plan he had designed in April might not, some four months later, be fit for purpose. It proceeds to demonstrate that given revised constraints on time, a full-length Nile Expedition was no longer tenable. Alternative courses of action are also tested. Popular myth would have it that the relief expedition arrived at Khartoum only two days too late. The thesis contends that this is a contrivance propagated by Wolseley out of selfishly motivated concern for his place in history. Wolseley explained away the purportedly critical 48-hours by asserting that Colonel Sir Charles Wilson had unnecessarily stalled the campaign for two days. It was inferred that Wilson was professionally inept, lost his nerve and did not press far enough upriver to be certain that Khartoum had fallen. The thesis traces the course of the ‘Wilson Controversy’, analyses ‘Campaign Design’ and ‘Campaign Management’ in order to identify how and why the relief expedition went awry, and culminates in a closely reasoned adjudication on the validity of the allegations levelled against Wilson. The thesis concludes that the true extent of the British failure was in the order of 60 days; that the failure occurred at the operational level of war, not the tactical; and that accordingly culpability should properly be attributed to Wolseley.

Texto completoResumen
Approved for public release, distribution is unlimitedThis thesis examines civil-military relations during the critical moments of the Czechoslovak history, particularly during the deep political and societal crises in 1938, 1948, 1968, and 1989. Such a method offers an opportunity to analyze civilian control of the military under a situation when the civil-military relations are in deep crisis. By concluding that even under such conditions there were stable civil-military relations in former Czechoslovakia, this thesis affirms the theory of military professionalism as a crucial factor in civil-military relations, as presented by Samuel P. Huntington. Thus, the study of civil-military relations in crises of the Czechoslovak history provides an exceptional opportunity to test the Huntington's model of the equilibrium of objective civilian control in the circumstances of profound societal disturbances. In accordance with the Huntington's theory of stable civil-military relations, this thesis attests that a strong military professionalism, typified by the bonds of traditions, obedience, and patriotic loyalty, plays crucial role in determining stability of civil-military relations, i.e. an objective civilian control of the military. Subsequently, by following this reasoning this thesis also justifies assumption of permanently stable civil-military relations in Czechia, because it intentionally concentrates only on the continuum of the Czechoslovak and the Czech civil-military relations.

After the Second World War, the leaders of the Department of the Army (DA) worked to inform those in the service that they had a duty to help the American people understand what the Army was doing to provide security for the nation. Their goal was for the public to have, at a minimum, the same amount of understanding of the Army as it had during World War II. To achieve this goal they believed that the officer corps had to be convinced that explaining to the public what the service was doing was in the best interest of the Army. The effort of the leaders to convince the officer corps was conducted by two primary means. First, the leaders made many public statements announcing that the Army would continue to inform the American people. Second, they added a requirement for those setting the curricula at the senior two schools of the service to provide instruction about the program that the Army had, which had three sub-programs, to update the American public. Between AY 1947 and 1989, the leaders continued to talk about the importance of informing the public. However, those approving the curricula at the two Colleges of the Army placed decreasing emphasis on educating students about what public affairs was and how to conduct it. This assertion is based on three primary findings. First, there is a clear decrease in the number of hours allocated to teaching about public affairs. Second, over the course of this period students were provided with fewer chances to apply what they were learning. Third, the coverage of the instruction went from covering at least two of the components of the Army’s program to at best only one. In the end a gap is clearly visible between what the leaders of the Army were saying regarding the importance of educating officers about public affairs and what was included in the curricula of these two schools: deeds did not match words.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis examines Northern and Southern Rhodesia's history through the formation and development of their police and military units from the time Rhodesia was created in 1890 until the end of the Second World War. Southern Rhodesia, founded after a series of short and bloody frontier wars, was a self-governing British colony under a white minority and centered its peace-time security efforts around keeping an eye on potential uprisings from the African majority. White Northern Rhodesians viewed the African majority with similar suspicion although they were never able to exclude Africans from territorial defense. Northern Rhodesia was governed from London and ultimate power did not lie with the settler community. The importance of the Second World War for Southern Rhodesia is that, because of British strategic policies, Rhodesians received perhaps the widest possible military exposure of any allied nation of the War. Because of a lingering hostility and suspicion by the Union of South Africa, Britain's prewar plans for defending their African empire were centered on making use of the skilled white manpower of Rhodesia and Kenya. Added to this was the willingness and apparent positive reception by white Rhodesians of black units in the Southern Rhodesian army, a break with the exclusively all-white tradition that prevailed up until then. The political capital accrued to Southern Rhodesia because of its close cooperation with Britain was perhaps the significant factor in the establishment of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in 1953 which included Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The Federation was Southern Rhodesia's supreme political achievement and the closest it came to legal independence and international respectability.

Texto completoResumen
D-Day is an event that has seated itself in collective memory, particularly America, as a seminal moment of the Second World War, and of the 20th century. Often the Allied landings in Upper Normandy are conceptualized as a watershed moment of the Second World War, signaling the eventual, unavoidable defeat of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. Yet, the reality of the situation was far more complicated, as the success of OVERLORD was followed by months of grueling fighting in the Norman bocage. Weeks after the successful landings, the war began to resemble the slow, attritional warfare that had defined the First World War. While the Allies possessed a monumental advantage both in terms of manpower and material, the Germans managed to contain them to a small geographic area, preventing the Allies from bring this advantage to bear. As such, D-Day—though certainly the most well-known aspect of the Normandy campaign—was not the only vitally important operation. In fact, Operation COBRA, the Allied breakout operation, proved to be an inflection point of operations in Normandy. Though it is largely overshadowed by OVERLORD, COBRA proved to be one of the most important military operations in western Europe, allowing the Allies to exploit their massive advantages in material and manpower through a war of maneuver. Operation COBRA is the focus of this analysis, but not in a traditional sense. While COBRA has been largely marginalized, receiving scant attention in general histories of the Second World War, a small but comprehensive historiography on the subject does exists. This body of historical work constitutes a discourse, detailing a changing understanding of COBRA within the Second World War. The focus of this analysis seeks to shift the current paradigm about Operation COBRA, analyzing its legacy in military thought following the Second World War—namely COBRA’s legacy and role in the development of the U.S. Army’s Cold War-era AirLand Battle doctrine. The primary objective of this study is to develop a link between Operation COBRA’s legacy and the development of AirLand Battle doctrine, demonstrating its place in modern military thought. The analysis is developed through four major components. The first section provides a brief overview of Operation COBRA, itself, and seeks to impart readers with a sense of why COBRA was, at the time, mostly unprecedented. The second section, a historiography of COBRA, provides insight to historians’ changing understanding and framing of Operation COBRA. The third section provides a broad overview of AirLand Battle doctrine while also analogizing Operation COBRA and the U.S. Army’s Cold War doctrine. In this way the third section proposes a link between COBRA and AirLand Battle doctrine. Finally, the fourth section attempts to solidify this link by analyzing several decades of papers written at the Army Command and General Staff College, demonstrating a reoccurring discourse that continually linked COBRA to AirLand Battle doctrine. Ultimately, this analysis seeks to bridge the discursive space that exists between historical and modern military thought, as both are necessary for the formation of innovative military doctrine.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation describes the various military outposts on the Texas frontier between 1866 and 1886. It is arranged geographically, with each chapter covering a major fort or geographical area and the smaller posts associated with it. Official military records and government reports serve as the primary sources of data. In 1866 when the United States Army returned to the defense of Texas after four years of civil war, the state's frontier lay open to depredations from several Indian tribes and from lawless elements in Mexico. The army responded to those attacks by establishing several lines of major forts to protect the various danger areas of the frontier. To extend its control and protection to remote, vulnerable, or strategically important points within its jurisdiction, each major fort established outposts. Two main categories of outposts existed in Texas, subposts and picket stations. Subposts served as permanent scouting camps or guarded strategic points or lines of communication. Picket stations protected outlying locations, such as stage stations, that were particularly vulnerable to attack. Because Indians raiding in Texas usually operated in fairly small groups, garrisons at outposts were similarly small. Company-sized detachments generally garrisoned subposts, and picket stations seldom held more than a dozen troops, often fewer. The army used outposts haphazardly during the first few years after the Civil War. Commanders developed standard tactics for outpost garrisons, but they failed to form a comprehensive strategy incorporating a series of outposts in the plan to pacify a particular region until the late 1870s. At that time, Colonel Benjamin Grierson and others began forming a systematic network of outposts in far West Texas. Concentrating his outposts at the region's few water sources, Grierson was able to use those posts as an effective part of a strategy that eventually brought an end to danger from Apaches in that part of the state.

HistoryPh.D.
Prior to World War II, the typical American Soldier was young and unmarried. As the old saying in the service went: if they wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued one to you. Today’s servicemember is most likely married and we customarily thank our military families in the same breath as those who wear the uniform. This dissertation is the story of how “support our troops” came to encompass the broader community of military families and how this fundamentally changed the military. Rooted in cultural and gender history, my dissertation argues that changing gender roles in the domestic sphere (i.e., fatherhood, motherhood, breadwinner, and homemaker) had a profound impact on martial roles in the military world, and vice versa. In the postwar era, as domestic roles were beginning to change, more and more married men enlisted in the Army and the Marine Corps, forcing the services to craft policies to accommodate families. Large numbers of married men in uniform was a new development in the United States, and my dissertation shows how marriage transformed civil-military relations. My dissertations addresses questions that are crucial to both the history of the military as well as American cultural life in the second half of the twentieth century. Just as military life became more family friendly, and as the services expanded opportunities for women, far fewer Americans overall chose to share in the burden of national service. Although military policymakers crafted policies to make military life more attractive, they contributed to its further isolation from the broader population by providing generous social services for military families increasingly inaccessible to other American families. Embedded within these contradictions is the story of what it meant to be an American after the Vietnam War.

Texto completoResumen
When addressed with military strategy the first thought is to drift towards the big name battlefields: Shiloh, Perryville, Stones River, Chickamauga, and Chattanooga. Our obsession with tactics and outcomes clouds our minds to the social, cultural, and political factors that took place away from the front lines. Less appealing, but no less important to understanding the war as a whole, this study incorporates non-military factors to explain the shift of Confederate military strategy in the Western Theater. Southern citizens experienced a growth of military awareness, which greatly influenced the military policies of Richmond, and altered how Confederate generals waged war against Union armies. The geography of Mississippi and Tennessee, and the proximity of these states to Virginia, also forced Western generals to pursue aggressive military campaigns with less than ideal military resources. Finally, the emotions and personal aspirations of general officers in the Army of Tennessee, and the Western Theater as a whole, produced a culture of failure, which created disunion and instability in the Western command structure. Confederate generals pursued aggressive military campaigns due to a combination of social, cultural, political, and military factors.

Texto completoResumen
Este estudo, de cunho histórico-social, tem como objeto a inserção de enfermeiras como oficiais da Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB) por meio do pioneiro Quadro Feminino de Oficiais (QFO). O marco inicial do estudo refere-se ao início do Estágio de Adaptação militar, em 02 de agosto de 1982 no Centro de Instrução Especializada da Aeronáutica (CIEAR), localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O marco final do estudo diz respeito ao término do período inicial obrigatório de dois anos de cumprimento de serviço ativo dessas enfermeiras, que culminou com a promoção das mesmas ao posto de 1Tenente (1984). Os objetivos do estudo são: descrever as circunstâncias de inserção das enfermeiras no processo seletivo do QFO, analisar o processo de incorporação do habitus militar durante o Estágio de Adaptação, e discutir as estratégias de luta das enfermeiras militares para ocuparem seus lugares devidos nos hospitais da FAB. A técnica de coleta de dados utilizada foi a entrevista e ocorreu no período de abril a maio de 2009 em hospitais da FAB da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Foram entrevistadas cinco enfermeiras militares da primeira turma do QFO. O estudo foi cadastrado no SISNEP e aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da FAB. Todos os sujeitos assinaram o Termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido e o Termo de doação de depoimento oral. O método utilizado foi o da História oral temática o referencial teórico do estudo foi baseado no pensamento do sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu, cujos conceitos de poder simbólico, habitus, campo, espaço social e violência simbólica sustentaram a construção desta dissertação. Para a análise e interpretação dos dados, seguimos os passos propostos por Maria Cecília Minayo de ordenação de dados, que compreendeu a transcrição na íntegra dos depoimentos; classificação cronológica e temática dos documentos escritos; classificação dos dados e a análise final. Evidenciou-se que diversos motivos incentivaram as enfermeiras a almejarem sua inserção na FAB como a boa remuneração, estabilidade financeira, progressão profissional, desbravamento de um novo campo de trabalho, clientela diferenciada, aposentadoria com salário integral e pioneirismo na FAB. O objetivo do Estágio de Adaptação militar foi inculcar do habitus militar nas candidatas a partir de ensinamentos baseados na hierarquia, disciplina, ética, dever e compromisso militar. Ao se inserirem nos hospitais da FAB, as enfermeiras receberam diversos cargos e funções, galgando um poder simbólico sobre a equipe de enfermagem. As inevitáveis lutas simbólicas dessas enfermeiras ocorreram com os médicos militares, com a equipe de enfermagem, com as enfermeiras civis e com a própria administração do hospital, e revelaram aspectos característicos de violência simbólica desencadeada por lutas de gênero e pela manutenção do poder, visto que as enfermeiras, dotadas de status de chefe e de militar, se inseriram num campo eminentemente masculino.This study, historical-social, has as its object the inclusion of nurses as officers of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) by the pioneer Table Female Officers (QFO). The first milestone in the study refers to the start of Stage Adaptation military on August 02th, 1982 in Center for Specialized Instruction Air Force (CIEAR), located in Rio de Janeiro. The final conquest of the study relates to the expiration of the initial mandatory two years of active service with these nurses, which led to the promotion of same to the rank of 1st Lt. (1984). The study aims to describe the circumstances of the nurses integration in the selection process of the QFO, analyze the process of incorporation of military habitus during Stage Adaptation, and discuss strategies to fight of the military to occupy their proper places in the FAB hospitals. The technique of data collection used was the interview and took place between April and May 2009 in hospital of FAB in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Five nurses from military first group of QFO were interviewed. The study was registered in SISNEP and approved by the Ethics Committee of FAB. All subjects signed the informed consent and donation term oral testimony. The method used was thematic oral history of the theoretical study was based on the thought of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, whose concept of symbolic power, habitus, field, social space and symbolic violence claimed the construction of this dissertation. For the analysis and interpretation of data, we follow the steps proposed by Maria Cecilia Minayo sort of data, which comprised the full transcript of testimony, chronological and thematic classification of the written documents, data classification and the final analysis. It was found that various reasons have encouraged nurses to aim their insertion in the FAB as good pay, financial stability, professional development, clearing a new field, distinguished clientele, retirement with full pay and pioneer in FAB. The goal of the adaptation was to inculcate the military habitus in military candidates from teachings based on hierarchy, discipline, ethics, duty and military commitment . When they entered in FAB hospitals, the nurses received a variety of positions and functions, climbing a symbolic power of the nursing staff. The inevitable symbolic struggles of nurses occurred with military doctors, with the nursing staff, with nurses and civilians, with proper administration of the hospital, and showed the characteristic features of symbolic violence triggered by gender struggles and maintaining power, as nurses, with their status as military chief and, inserted in a predominantly male field.

Lobanov, Aleksandr. "Anglo-Burgundian military cooperation, 1420-1435". Thesis, University of Southampton, 2015. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/380676/.
Texto completoResumen
Apart for a few episodes such as the battle of Cravant (1423), the defence of Paris (1429) and especially the capture of Joan of Arc at the siege of Com-piègne (1430), the military aspect of Anglo-Burgundian alliance in 1420-1435 war is little known to general audience. This stage of the Hundred Years War is presented largely as a series of English successes in the 1420s followed by the defeats and setbacks after 1429. The present study aims to uncover this large-ly ignored aspect of one of the most dramatic stages of the Hundred Years War, which at a certain point brought the English to the walls of Orléans – an undoubted peak of their centuries-long efforts to subdue the French kingdom. For the aims of research, the course of the Hundred Years War in the 1420s-early 1430s has to be considered not in the terms of the English fighting against the French but as a struggle of two alternative claims to the French throne, both of them relying on certain support among the French pop-ulation. One of these suggested that the French crown remained with the Va-lois dynasty represented by Charles VII, the other tried to introduce the Dual Monarchy of England and France under the governance of the House of Lancas-ter, as formalised by the Treaty of Troyes (21 May 1420). The role of Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, the most high-ranking French partisan of the Dual monarchy, as the pillar of the Lancastrian power in France becomes the subject of study. This raises the question of the system of obligations between the duke and the Lancastrian government, the modes of its practical exploitation and the significance of the duke’s contribution to the Lancastrian war efforts. With this in mind, this study provides a chronological reconstruction of Anglo-Burgundian military cooperation in its development by placing it in a wider military and diplomatic context. Having assembled the evidence on the practice of military assistance it proceeds to discussing the most widely em-ployed models of cooperation and interaction between the allies eventually leading to a certain reconsideration of the whole nature of the Anglo-Burgundian alliance. What the research reveals is the scale and continuity of the alliance which retained its importance from December 1419 to September 1435, the significance of the allies’ efforts in supporting each other and variety of its models and, finally, the crucial influence of the military power or weak-ness factor on the diplomacy and politics in France.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel SuperiorEste trabalho analisa o discurso nacionalista dos engenheiros militares brasileiros. Tomo como ponto de partida a compreensÃo de que a naÃÃo, ao se firmar como a comunidade padrÃo da civilizaÃÃo moderna nos Ãltimos dois sÃculos, impulsionou o desenvolvimento cientÃfico e tecnolÃgico, tendo a figura do militar à frente nesses avanÃos. A Engenharia Militar incorpora uma elite tÃcnica e intelectual, historicamente envolvida na construÃÃo de uma naÃÃo moderna e soberana. Concentro-me no Instituto Militar de Engenharia (IME) e nas instituiÃÃes que o precederam, formando desde o sÃculo XIX engenheiros e tÃcnicos militares de nÃvel superior no Brasil. Analiso a percepÃÃo da naÃÃo brasileira revelada no discurso de comandantes e generais que tiveram ligaÃÃo com esta instituiÃÃo.
This work examines the speech of nationalist military engineers. I take as a starting point the understanding that the nation, reaching as the default community of modern civilization in the last two centuries, boosted the scientific and technological development, taking the figure of military ahead in these advances. Military Engineering incorporates technical and intellectual elite, historically involved in building a modern and sovereign nation. I focus the Instituto Militar de Engenharia (IME) and the institutions before it, which since the 19th century formed engineers and high level technicians in Brazil. I look at the perception of Brazilian nation revealed in the speeches of commanders and generals of this institution.

This thesis examines how the modern weaponry shaped the American soldiers’ use of weaponry and the change of tactics during World War I. The American experience was unique as Britain, France, and Germany grew accustomed to the advancements in weaponry over time, while the American Expeditionary Force encountered this type of warfare for the first time. The American Army served mainly as a constabulary, fighting guerilla forces before the war, and had to be trained to fight a conventional war in Europe. The common soldiers would modify official doctrine to fit the realities of the battlefield in which they found themselves.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis analyzes the military history of the Boiotian League during the Hellenistic period (338-200 BC). It argues that Boiotia experienced a large population increase in the fourth century BC followed by a steady population decline throughout the next two centuries caused primarily by environmental collapse. During the late Classical period (490-338 BC), one of the Boiotian League's primary focuses was protecting its plentiful population and agricultural land through an extensive network of fortifications. After the defeat they suffered in the battle of Chaironeia in 338 BC, the Boiotians became vulnerable to attack, and their federal government no longer possessed the resources to maintain this extensive defensive system. The Boiotian League then began to move towards more flexible modes of defense, but this proved too little too late when the Aitolian League inflicted a major defeat on the ill-prepared Boiotians in 245 BC. This forced the government into reforming its military on the model of the Makedonian army and instituting a rigorous training regimen for all Boiotian troops. The environmental and demographic decline occurring at this time drove many Boiotians to poverty, however, and many poor farmers were unable to spare the time to undergo intensive training during the second half of the third century BC. The Boiotian military thus became smaller, more professionalized, better coordinated, and ultimately better able to defend the large territory under the League's control. This allowed the federal government to face foreign threats with a flexible and dynamic defensive force despite the crisis of declining arable land and population it faced at this time.Cette thèse analyse l'histoire militaire de la Confédération béotienne cours de la époque hellénistique (338-200 av. J.-C.). Il fait valoir que Béotie connu une croissance démographique importante dans le quatrième siècle av. J.-C. suivie d'un déclin de sa population au cours des deux siècles suivants causés principalement par l'effondrement de l'environnement. Au cours de la dernière époque classique (490-338 av. J.-C.), l'une des principale de la Confédération béotienne se concentre protéger sa population a été abondante et les terres agricoles à travers un vaste réseau de fortifications. Après la défaite qu'ils ont subie dans la bataille de Chéronée en 338 av. J.-C., les Béotiens sont devenus vulnérables à l'invasion, et le gouvernement fédéral ne possédait plus les moyens d'entretenir ce vaste système défensif. La Confédération béotienne a alors commencé à se déplacer vers des modes plus souples de la défense, mais cela s'est avéré trop peu trop tard quand la Confédération aitolienne infligé une défaite majeure sur les Béotiens mal préparés en 245 av. J.-C. Cela a forcé le gouvernement à réformer son armée sur le modèle de l'armée macedonienne et en instituant un régime d'entraînement rigoureux pour toutes les troupes béotiens. La dégradation de l'environnement et démographiques se produisent à l'heure actuelle conduit de nombreux Béotiens à la pauvreté, cependant, et de nombreux paysans pauvres n'ont pas pu trouver le temps de suivre une formation intensive au cours de la seconde moitié du IIIe siècle av. J.-C. L'armée béotienne est ainsi devenu plus petit, plus professionnalisée, mieux coordonnée, et finalement mieux à même de défendre le vaste territoire sous le contrôle de la Confédération. Cela a permis au gouvernement fédéral de faire face aux menaces étrangères ayant une force souple et dynamique défensive malgré la crise des terres arables diminue et la population qu'elle fait face en ce moment.

Previous issue date: 2016-08-03The aim of this study was to analyze the teaching and learning relationships in history subject in military schools having as reference two points: First, the textbook History of Empire of Brazil and Republic, a book especially designed for the Army Library to serve as educational tool to history lessons in military schools. Secondly the experiences and memories of students and teachers who have taught in units of the Military Schools System of Brazil. Besides understanding the textbook as a proper element of school culture (CHOPPAIN, 2002; JÚNIOR, 1997), the first chapter was intended to analyze the textbook History of Empire of Brazil and Republic from a similar criteria as the one established by the National Textbook Program (MIRANDA, DE LUCA, 2007). As a practical preparation, it was referred to chapters of the textbook History of Empire of Brazil and Republic toward a literature produced by the most recent historiography. The finding was that the textbook has several problems related to its conception of history, historiography choices and methodological construction in its entirety. The most obvious case is the approach about the period of the military regime whose narrative diverges significantly on the latest historiography. (CARDOSO, Lucileide, 2011; FICO, 2004; REIS, 2004; TOLEDO, 2004). The second time was building a web of relationships among people who actively participated in history classes in military schools. Theoretically it is analyzed how the production of oral sources (ALBERTI, 2004; FALCÃO, 2013; LAVERDI, 2013; PORTELLI, 1997; POZZI, 1997) contributed to the preparation of identification of social uses historical knowledge with reference to the concept of didactics of history (BERGMANN, 1990; CARDOSO, Oldimar, 2007; RÜSEN, 2006; SADDI, 2012). Finally, the interviews done with history teachers and students who have gone through units of the military schools revealed important aspects such actions and practices of resistance to military historiographical tradition; meanings of the everyday school activities full of rituals, festivities and public ceremonies; and intellectual understanding of teachers as representatives of the scientific discourse in conflict with the historic culture exposed in the book. Papers as Pacievicht (2007), Pimenta (1996), Rüsen (2010; 1994) were fundamental in this understanding. In addition to the results showed above, it is important to notice that the text presents both the theoretical and methodological analysis of the delimitation of the research study and the historicity of work as something fundamental to understand the characteristics, limits and real situations faced during the journey of its preparation.
O objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar as relações de ensino e aprendizagem da disciplina de história nos colégios militares tendo como referência dois pontos: primeiro, o livro didático História do Brasil Império e República, elaborado especialmente pela Biblioteca do Exército para servir de material didático às aulas de história nos colégios militares. Segundo, as experiências e memórias de alunos e professores que lecionaram em unidades do Sistema Colégio Militar do Brasil. Além de compreender o livro didático como um elemento próprio da cultura escolar (CHOPPAIN, 2002; JÚNIOR, 1997), o primeiro capítulo foi destinado ao esforço de analisar o livro didático História do Brasil Império e República a partir de uma base de critérios semelhantes aos critérios estabelecidos pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (MIRANDA; DE LUCA, 2007). Como elaboração prática, remeteu-se capítulos do livro didático História do Brasil Império e República perante um levantamento bibliográfico elaborados pela historiografia mais recente. A constatação foi que o livro didático possui vários problemas referentes à sua concepção de história, escolhas historiográficas e construção metodológica em sua totalidade. O caso mais evidente é a abordagem que o livro faz sobre o período do regime militar cuja narrativa destoa significativamente sobre a produção historiográfica mais recente. (CARDOSO, Lucileide, 2011; FICO, 2004; REIS, 2004; TOLEDO, 2004). O segundo momento foi de construir uma teia de relações entre sujeitos que participaram ativamente das aulas de história nos colégios militares. Teoricamente faz-se uma análise de como a produção de fontes orais (ALBERTI, 2004; FALCÃO, 2013; LAVERDI, 2013; PORTELLI, 1997; POZZI, 1997), contribuiu na elaboração de identificação dos usos sociais do conhecimento histórico tendo como referência o conceito de “Didática da História” (BERGMANN, 1990; CARDOSO, Oldimar, 2007; RÜSEN, 2006; SADDI, 2012). Por fim, as entrevistas elaboradas com professores de história e alunos que passaram por unidades do colégio militar revelaram aspectos importantes como ações e práticas de resistência à tradição historiográfica militar; significações sobre o cotidiano escolar repleto de ritos, festividades e cerimônias públicas; e a compreensão intelectual dos professores como representantes do discurso científico em conflito com a cultura histórica disposta no livro História do Brasil Império e República. Trabalhos como os de Pacievicht (2007), Pimenta (1996), Rüsen (2010; 1994) foram fundamentais nessa compreensão. Além dos resultados acima descritos, torna-se importante destacar que o texto apresenta ao mesmo tempo a análise teórica e metodológica da delimitação do estudo da pesquisa e também a própria historicidade do trabalho como algo fundamental na compreensão das características, limites e situações reais enfrentadas durante a jornada de sua elaboração.

This dissertation work aims to propose a study of the Roman military identities at the end of fourth century from the definition of a Roman way of warfare. For this we use the Epitoma rei militaris of Flavius Vegetius Renatus. We conducted an analysis of theoretical and typhological elements of the work, the Roman military organization during this period and finally, we seek to problematize the Roman way of warfare.
Este trabalho de dissertação tem como objetivo propor um estudo das identidades militares romanas no final do século IV d.C a partir da definição de um modo romano de lutar. Para isso utilizamos a Epitoma rei militaris escrita por Flávio Vegécio Renato, obra que se enquadra dentro do grupo de fontes denominadas manuais militares. Procedemos a uma análise dos elementos teóricos e tipológicos da fonte, da organização militar romana no período histórico estudado e a uma problematização do conceito de modo romano de lutar.

The Philippine-American War has rarely been analyzed from the Filipino viewpoint. As a consequence, Filipino military activity is little known or misunderstood. This study aims to shed light on the Filipino side of the conflict. It does so by utilizing the Philippine Insurgent Records, which are the records of the Philippine government. More importantly, the thesis examines 300 years of Filipino history, starting with the Spanish conquest, in order to provide a framework for understanding Philippine military culture.

Cauley, Catherine S. "Queering the WAC: The World War II Military Experience of Queer Women". ScholarWorks@UNO, 2015. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/2062.
Texto completoResumen
The demands of WWII mobilization led to the creation of the first standing women's army in the US known as the Women's Army Corps (WAC). An unintended consequence of this was that the WAC provided queer women with an environment with which to explore their gender and sexuality while also giving them the cover of respectability and service that protected them from harsh societal repercussions. They could eschew family for their military careers. They could wear masculine clothing, exhibit a masculine demeanor, and engage in a homosocial environment without being seen as subversive to the American way of life. Quite the contrary: the outside world saw them as helping to protect their country. This paper looks at the life of one such queer soldier, Dorothee Gore. Dorothee's letters, journals, and memorabilia demonstrate that for many lesbians of her generation, service in the WACS during WWII was a time of relatively open camaraderie and acceptance by straight society.

Texto completoResumen
Preparing for the operational environment is a fundamental principle of military doctrine. This thesis looks at current and historical military practice and aims to determine future training initiatives to help better prepare the soldier for conflict conditions. Whilst the future of military conflict will always be determined by politics, the potential reaction time can be very short, so we must be in a position of continuous training for operations, with optimum ramp up opportunities for readiness. During operations in Afghanistan the campaign Formation Operational Readiness Mechanism (FORM) Fitness Doctrine (CFFD) provided guidance for the physical preparation of all ranks, tailored to the specific requirements for Operation HERRICK. Building on the success of CFFD, we must re-analyse our physical preparation for operations philosophies to align them with the requirements of contingency. Whilst the exact physical requirements for future operations are inherently unknown, it is essential that we derive appropriate physical training (PT) philosophies and methodologies to efficiently and effectively promote physical fitness and injury resilience.

HistoryPh.D.
The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia's members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non-Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War. To put it simply, the interwar years forced the Militia to focus on officer, NCO, and specialist development, creating a highly trained and effective nucleus of key personnel. This leadership core led Canada's land-based contribution to the war effort. Another important factor in the Canadian Army's performance was the Militia's interwar interest in mechanization, which revealed a remarkably progressive strain in this neglected organization.

HistoryM.A.
Between 1865 and 1898, the United States Navy underwent an unprecedented technological and professional modernization. This modernization involved the use of advanced technology in ship construction, propulsion, and armament. Steel replaced wood as the primary building material in ship construction, steam propulsion replaced sail propulsion, and rifled guns and automobile torpedoes replaced smoothbore and muzzle loading guns. The naval officer corps also moved towards professionalization with the creation of advanced training schools, such as the Naval War College. Utilizing the academic works of naval officers found in the Papers and Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, it is possible to track the intellectual processes that facilitated naval modernization. Through decades of development and lobbying Congress for appropriations, naval officers influenced the modernization of the U.S. Fleet that decisively defeated the Spanish Navy during the battles of Manila Bay and Santiago de Cuba.

HistoryPh.D.
ABSTRACT The acquisition and transportation of supplies for the U.S. Army proved to be the most intractable military problem of the War of 1812. Logistics became the bane of successive secretaries of war and field commanders, and of the soldiers who fought the British and Canadian troops, and their native allies. Historians have correctly ascribed the failure of American arms to achieve its principal war aim, the conquest of Canada, to the dysfunctional logistical and supply system. The suffering of soldiers who received subpar food and clothing, and experienced a shortage of weapons, ammunition, and fuel, moreover, are a staple of the historical literature on the war. Although this dissertation analyzes the causes and consequences of the breakdown in logistics, it also focuses on the lesser-known story of how the Corps of Quartermasters made logistics work under difficult conditions. It investigates how the military professionals within the officer corps drew lessons from their wartime travails and made common cause with reform-minded civilians in the hope of creating a better logistical system. Their combined efforts led to the postwar reform drive that gave the U.S. Army permanent supply departments, a comprehensive set of regulations, effective measures to enforce accountability, a new system for distributing food to the army, and a construction boom in military roads. Reformers also transformed the Quartermaster Corps to a greater degree than previously thought. Historians have long argued that the U.S. Army did not have a professionalized officer corps until the end of the nineteenth century. Recently, historians have considered the professional aspects of the antebellum officer corps. This dissertation argues that the origins of military professionalism can be traced back to the War of 1812. Army quartermasters, in particular, stood in the vanguard of military progress. Quartermaster General Thomas Sidney Jesup emphasized military expertise, education, and training far more than had his predecessors, and quartermasters typified the growing commitment of army officers to a lifetime of service to the nation. Jesup envisioned that his department would become an elite staff of military logisticians. He also wanted that peacetime staff to be large enough to support an army at war. He opposed the practice of appointing businessmen to fill quartermaster vacancies during a war, believing that these men did not have the basic competencies to perform their tasks well. In fact, the performance of civil appointees and career officers improved over the course of the war and a few even proposed logistical reforms that the army would later adopt. The War of 1812 not only provided the catalyst for the postwar reform of logistics and the onset of a professional ethic among quartermasters, but the process of professionalizing logistics actually began during the war. This study’s main findings draw on the private and official correspondence of army officers and secretaries of war, which reside in published government documents and manuscript collections housed in the National Archives, Library of Congress, and various universities and historical societies. Army registers, college registers, local histories, genealogies, and officers’ letters facilitated the reconstruction of quartermasters’ careers.

Mestrado Acadêmico em Ciências do Cuidado em Saúde
O consumo de bebidas alcoólicas está classificado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) entre os 10 comportamentos de maior risco à saúde na atualidade. Dentre todas as drogas, o álcool é a mais utilizada no mundo inteiro. No Brasil, como destaque está a cerveja, fazendo parte do contexto sociocultural como forma de socialização. A ingestão abusiva de bebidas alcoólicas necessita de maior atenção pela sociedade e serviços de saúde. O alcoolismo tem um efeito negativo quando presente na esfera do trabalho, assim, quando o trabalhador se depara com a impossibilidade de executar suas atividades laborativas devido ao uso abusivo do álcool ele se depara com confrontos e insatisfações, por estar rompendo seu ritual de tarefas e vínculos, e isto pode ser considerada a maior perda social na vida do trabalhador, sobretudo porque outras perdas estão associadas ao trabalho, tais como, a redução salarial, a restrição do núcleo social e a ociosidade, gerando assim, um meio mais propício ao alcoolismo. O estudo tem a intenção de contribuir para a classe de servidores militares no que tange o cuidado específico e a colaboração da enfermagem para levantamento de estratégias de melhorias na qualidade de vida dos servidores militares. O diagnóstico e o tratamento do transtorno neste grupo se torna cada vez mais importantes. Trazendo a relevante na Universidade no qual se produzem novos estudos sobre o tema alcoolismo e militares adensando mais a temática e justificando a elaboração deste estudo que tem como objeto: identificar através das narrativas de vida as vulnerabilidades dos servidores militares ao uso abusivo de álcool. Os seguintes objetivos: Identificar as vulnerabilidades dos servidores militares decorrente do uso abusivo de álcool. Analisar os tipos de vulnerabilidades nas narrativas dos servidores militares frente ao uso abusivo de álcool. Discutir as repercussões decorrentes do uso abusivo de álcool no ambiente familiar e de trabalho do servidor militar. Tomando-se por base os objetivos propostos para esta pesquisa, optamos pela abordagem de natureza qualitativa. O método adotado nesta pesquisa será a Narrativa de Vida, que permite obter informações na essência subjetiva da vida de uma pessoa, o que vai ao encontro do objeto de estudo. Foi através da história que os elementos de vida foram transmitidos. O local do estudo foi o serviço de tratamento psicossocial de álcool e outras drogas do Corpo Militar da Marinha do Brasil, situado no Hospital Central da Marinha o Centro de Dependência Química (CEDEQ). Desta forma, o processo analítico que foi empregado foi a análise temática conforme Bertaux, o material que foi fornecido pelo participante, propiciou a construção das categorias, em ordem diacrónica e distribuição do tempo de acordo com o narrador. Para discussão dos dados utilizamos o Referencial conceitual de vulnerabilidade e Risco de Ayres e o Referencial Teórico de Afaf Meleis com a teoria das transições. Concluímos que as vulnerabilidades dos servidores militares ao uso abusivo de álcool estão interligadas entre as vulnerabilidades individual, social e programática onde os fatores favoráveis são: a predisposição ao alcoolismo, conflitos familiares, entrada no serviço militar, a facilidade de beber em serviço, transferências e punições juntamente com as transições de saúde/doença e transições organizacionais descritas por Meleis.
Alcohol consumption is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) among the 10 risk behavior health today. Among all drugs, alcohol is the most widely used worldwide. In Brazil, as highlighted is the beer as part of the socio-cultural context as a form of socialization. Abusive drinking alcohol needs further attention by society and health services. Alcoholism has a negative effect when present in the sphere of work, so when the worker is faced with the inability to perform their work activities due to alcohol abuse he faces conflicts and grievances, to be breaking your task and ritual ties, and this can be considered the largest loss in the social worker's life, especially because other losses are associated with the work, such as wage reduction, restriction of social core and idleness, generating a way more conducive to alcoholism . The study intends to contribute to the class of military employees regarding the specific care and collaboration of nursing-raising strategies improvements in the quality of life of military servers. Diagnosis and treatment of this disorder group becomes increasingly important. Bringing relevant in University where occur the new studies on the subject alcoholism and military more thicken the theme and justifying the preparation of this study whose object: identify through life narratives vulnerabilities of military servers to alcohol abuse. The following objectives: Identify the vulnerabilities of military servers resulting from alcohol abuse. Analyze the types of vulnerabilities in the narratives of the military front servers to alcohol abuse. Discuss the repercussions of alcohol abuse in the family environment and work of military server. Taking as a basis the proposed objectives for this research, we chose the qualitative approach. The method adopted in this research will be the Narrative of Life, which provides information on the subjective essence of a person's life, which is consistent with the object of study. It was through the story the life elements were transmitted. The study site was the psychosocial treatment service of alcohol and other drugs of the Military Corps of the Navy of Brazil, located in the Navy Central Hospital Chemical Dependency Center (CEDEQ). Thus, the analysis method that was used was thematic analysis as Bertaux, the material that was provided by the participant, provided the construction of categories, in diachronic order and distribution of time according to the narrator. For discussion of the data we use the conceptual Reference Vulnerability and Risk Ayres and the Theory of Reference Afaf Meleis with the theory of transitions. We conclude that the vulnerabilities of military servers to alcohol abuse are connected between the individual, social and programmatic vulnerabilities where the favorable factors are: the predisposition to alcoholism, family conflicts, entry into military service, ease of drinking on duty, transfers and punishments along with health transitions / disease and organizational transitions described by Meleis.

Varble, Neil. "The Wehrmarcht: Soldiers and Germans During the Second World War". TopSCHOLAR®, 2007. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/384.
Texto completoResumen
The German Army, also known as the Wehrmacht, fought a brutal war on the Eastern Front during the Second World War. These soldiers, under the command of military officials of the Nazi state, vowed to destroy Bolshevism and Jewish populations. By examining letters from soldiers to family members on the German home front as well as letters from families to the men on the front lines, a better understanding of the motivations of war is revealed. Letters of these men and family members present insight into a vast area of research in German twentieth century history. An estimated 20 to 40 billion letters circulated throughout the German armed forces from 1939 until 1945. In addition to letters, Nazi propaganda and the Hitler Youth greatly contributed to the influx of anti-Semitic and anti-Bolshevik mindsets throughout the military ranks. Due to the events surrounding the end of the First World War, Hitler was successful in creating a vendetta against his European neighbors who betrayed Germany in 1918-1919. Revenge against Germany's enemies was constantly preached to the German population as well as soldiers serving in the Wehrmacht. These individuals would take their revenge against civilian populations and prisoners of war. The majority of German atrocities took place on the Eastern Front in Russia after the launch of operation Barbarossa in June 1941. The following research does not attempt to describe every German veteran of the Second World War; rather, it is important to realize that war is horrendous under any circumstance and the Second World War proved no different. Additional research, namely in Germany, is necessary in order to develop an even more detailed perspective of the average soldier of the Wehrmacht.

Texto completoResumen
La société canadienne s'enflamme en 1910 à la suite de l'introduction, par le premier ministre Sir Wilfrid Laurier, d'un projet de loi voulant l'organisation d'un service naval canadien. Que ce soit à la Chambre des communes, en assemblées populaires, en famille ou dans les médias, la défense maritime du Canada retient dorénavant l'attention des Canadiens.
Présente au Canada sporadiquement depuis la Confédération, cette question, devenue fondamentale suite à l'émergence de nouvelles puissances militaires remettant en cause la domination de l'Empire britannique, force le Dominion à agir. Après des années de tentatives évitées ou avortées, la question se pause directement : autonomie nationale ou participation impériale?
Le débat qui en découle, la crise navale de 1910, divise profondément la société canadienne. Limitée trop souvent à un antagonisme entre Canadiens français et Canadiens anglais par l'historiographie, cette crise traverse aisément les frontières ethniques traditionnelles du pays. En effet, elle résulte principalement d'un affrontement entre autonomistes et impérialistes, chacun avançant un programme spécifique quant à l'avenir souhaité du Dominion.
Grandement intéressée par la question, la population s' active et intervient au sien du débat via diverses organisations populaires, en écrivant à ses représentants politiques et en participant à des assemblées publiques. Les médias sont eux aussi captivés, les journaux du pays abordant abondamment le sujet pendant la crise. Ainsi, cette dernière s'avère une véritable crise nationale, les tendances autonomistes et impérialistes s'étalant sur l'ensemble du territoire tout en divisant presque également le peuple canadien.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis evaluates the "human dimension" of military history and focuses primarily on soldiers from the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division during the first half of the Normandy campaign, 6 June to early July 1944. This study concerns itself with the subject of morale and the individual's experience in war. Therefore, it couples an exploration of the challenging physical and psychological conditions that the infantry confronted in battle, with a discussion of how they coped with, and persevered through, the awful bloodbath beyond D-Day. Five critical and related themes are addressed 1) anticipation versus reality; 2) privation and hardship; 3) improvisation and adaption; 4) coping, culture, and comradeship; and 5) administration and morale. By placing the common soldier at the centre of attention, this thesis reveals an interesting and innovative perspective into a variety of important subjects that are virtually unknown in the relevant historiography.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis is the first study to examine Canadian and Italian interactions in Ortona from December 1943 until April 1944. The Canadian presence in Ortona is not remembered by the people of the town simply in the context of military operations. As the Canadians occupied Ortona and the surrounding areas for four months, interactions occurred within the context of combat operations, periods of relaxation, and throughout the process of rebuilding infrastructure and developing an economy. Canadian military historians have largely neglected to provide accounts of the various engagements between Canadian soldiers and Italian civilians before, during, and after the Battle of Ortona, unless they affected operations, intelligence, and civil control. The result of these civil-military relationships provided numerous benefits to Canadian and Italian alike. Italians provided Canadian soldiers with intelligence, shelter, food, and psychological support. In turn, the Canadians provided the Italians with medical assistance, food, financial support, and technical support in the rebuilding of Ortona. The interactions promoted Canadians as separate from the other Allied forces in the region and created unique friendships that defined the liberator and the liberated through their mutual dependencies. As historians have focused entirely on the unfolding of military operations in the region of Ortona, this thesis argues that the value of the interactions and the reconstruction process help explain why most Ortonesi developed a positive collective memory of Canadian soldiers.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation explores U.S.-Brazilian relations through the prism of naval diplomacy between 1893 and 1930. Broadly, this dissertation explains the growth of U.S. naval involvement in Brazil, emphasizing the motives of Brazilian and American policymakers, and the role of naval officers in strengthening bilateral relations. This study begins by examining the Brazilian Navy Revolt of 1893-94, contextualizing it within the formative years of the Brazilian Republic, while discussing U.S. naval intervention in the conflict. It then explores U.S.-Brazilian naval relations in the early twentieth century, explaining the growing association between the two countries’ navies after the turn of the century. That collaboration culminated in cooperation during World War I, and with the establishment of an American Navy Commission to teach at the Brazilian Naval War College. Finally, this dissertation explores the dynamics of the U.S. Navy Mission in Brazil during the first formative years after its establishment in 1922. Introducing naval diplomacy to the historiography of U.S.-South American relations illuminates the origins of American influence in Brazil, including the crucial role of Brazilians in pursuing closer ties, as well as the development of a U.S. policy focused on reducing European influence, promoting regional security, and increasing U.S. commercial power in the region.
