America and the Making of an Independent Ireland
Examines how the Irish American community, the American public, and the American government played a crucial role in the making of a sovereign independent Ireland On Easter Day 1916, more than a thousand Irishmen stormed Dublin city center, seizing the General Post Office building and reading the Proclamation for an independent Irish Republic. The British declared martial law shortly afterward, and the rebellion was violently quashed by the milit…
Anglo-American Problems
This review article focuses on three studies of different aspects of Anglo-American relations, and it attempts to place these studies in the larger context of Anglo-American scholarship. Kori Schake examines British-American affairs over a period of almost two centuries with the intention of explaining the unique process by which an established hegemonic power gave way to a rising power without an armed conflict. This thesis is articulated with a…

Civil War Diplomacy
The American Civil War had a serious impact in Europe because the United States supplied vital raw materials for both Britain and France and was also a major market for their manufactured goods. The prospect of intervention in the war raised difficult issues—morally repugnant support of slavery on the one hand, but on the other, in the aftermath of the rebellions of 1848 in Europe, the possibility to weaken democratic republicanism. Mediation rem…

The Scots Irish of Early Pennsylvania
The history of the Scots Irish (sometimes called the Ulster Scots or Scotch Irish) is important for an understanding of both Irish and early American history. Lowland Scots, who were Presbyterians, were encouraged to settle in northern Ireland as part of a plan to colonize Ulster with Protestants after the wars of the seventeenth century. By the early eighteenth century, the province may have included as many as two hundred thousand Scots Irish. …

The American Civil War and British Intervention
The American Civil War had serious international repercussions, particularly in Great Britain. Although the British Government hoped to remain neutral, the Trent affair in 1861 and discussions by Cabinet members to offer mediation in 1862 threatened to bring Britain into the conflict. Caution and forbearance on both sides prevented events from slipping out of control, but the circumstances were threatening
Belfast and the American Civil War
This article examines the Belfast reaction to the American Civil War as reported by the US consul, Dr John Young, and the leading Belfast newspapers. Such major events and issues as the secession crisis, the Trent affair, the sailing of commerce raiders and blockade runners, major battles, the economic effects of the war, and the death of President Abraham Lincoln generated strong opinions. The local opinion in Belfast is measured against the ana…
Diplomats and the Civil War at Sea
The Civil War created problems for Anglo-American relations as Confederate interests attempted to build commerce raiders in British shipyards and to provide blockade-runners to service the Southern economy. US consuls in such key places as Liverpool and Bermuda were instrumental in attempting to stop this traffic by diplomatic means. Confederate commerce raiders, most notably the Alabama and the Shenandoah, were able to put to sea and caused grea…
The First Shot was the Last Straw
On 3 September 1939 the passenger liner Athenia, sailing from Liverpool to Montreal, was sunk by the German submarine U-30 with a loss of 112 lives. This action, while not intended by the German government, was in violation of Germany's commitments under the London Naval Treaty and it complicated its desire to keep hostilities confined to Poland. The British government and Admiralty, confronted with an attack on an unarmed passenger liner within …

The American Committee for Relief in Ireland, 1920–22
The Irish question, in one form or another, became a feature of American public life from the period of the great Irish migration to the United States in the 1840s to the twentieth century. Seemingly each generation saw a version of the Irish struggle for self-government played out in both Ireland and America. By 1920 this struggle, in the shape of the War of Independence or the Anglo-Irish War, had assumed dramatic proportions. Many Irish-Americ…

The Passionate Canadians
AFFAIRS concerning and conducted across Canadian-American boundary have generally been characterized with such terms as reason, compromise, good sense, and amicability.' This tradition of great undefended border took hold early in twentieth century and gathered strength with 1914 celebrations of one hundred years of peace shared among United States, Great Britain, and Canada. In 1920, for example, American ambassador to Great Britain, John W. Dav…
Kings and Crises
T HE settlement of the eastern Canadian-American boundary was a long, complicated, and not always amicable process involving negotiation, exploration, debate, agitation, skirmishing, political rhetoric, and the occasional joint commission.' For fifty-nine years, from the end of the War of American Independence in 1783 to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, the British and United States governments locked horns over the issue, and as the controv…

Money for Ireland
Raising money was one of the great successes of the Irish government, as the funds provided the sinews of war with which to fight Britain. This book details the history of the financing of the Irish revolution from both domestic and international loans. Divisions in Irish society over the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the creation of the Irish Free State led to the outbreak of the Civil War. The Free State's ability to deny the anti-Treaty forces access…
United States Foreign Policy and Ireland
Since the late 1970s, encouraged in part by the activities and publications of the Royal Irish Academy, there has been a growing interest in the foreign relations of the Irish state in the twentieth century. While particular attention has been devoted to Irish relations with the Commonwealth, the League of Nations, the Vatican and Europe during the inter-war years, relatively little scholarly attention has been paid in the last thirty years to Ir…
