Sovereignty and the search for order in German-occupied Poland, 1915--1918.

4.9/5 (10317 ratings)

Description:This dissertation examines Germany's efforts to build a satellite state in the Polish territories it occupied during the First World War. Chapter 1 outlines the development of this policy under the German Governor-General of occupied Poland, Hans Hartwig von Beseler. The next three chapters illustrate how Beseler's vision of the future of the central European political order was implemented during the occupation. Chapter 2 examines the German creation of institutions of local elected government. The chapter includes a discussion of how pre-existing national tensions in Polish society played out within them. Chapter 3 explores German policy toward primary and secondary education. The concessions made by the occupation regime to Polish demands for the re-establishment of Polish schools were genuine. Simultaneously, however, the Germans tried to use educational policy to create a set of institutions that would preserve the existence of the German minority in Poland when the war was over. Chapter 4 centers on the Polish-language university the occupiers established in Warsaw in 1915. The university, the Germans hoped, was to be the source of a new Polish elite that would run Poland's domestic affairs but leave high politics in the hands of the Germans. Chapter 5 shows how the occupation regime was ultimately dissolved by an internal German collapse. The conclusion of the dissertation argues that German ambitions in Poland in the First World War did not anticipate German actions there in the Second World War. At the same time, it offers a new interpretive framework for making sense of the occupation. This is done by placing Germany's plans for Poland within the context of an international attempt to reconstruct political space in Europe that drew on a set of norms that were in flux. In addition, attention is called to the unique strategic situation created in central Europe by the intersection of nationalism with international politics.;The main sources used are the series of reports filed by the civilian head of the occupation government as well as by Beseler. In addition, extensive use has been made of memoirs, Polish and German newspapers, and records of official Polish bodies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
