English Atrocities in the Reign of Elizabeth i and Their Context
This chapter on ruthless military violence during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) considers some violence directed by the English state, but has as its focus the violence of English soldiers who were not serving the Tudor state. This reflects the fact that up to 1585, English soldiers were serving French and Dutch Protestants, effectively as mercenaries (albeit with English state approval and connivance). The chapter shows that extreme viole…
Global Early Modern Protestant Mission
Four Axes of Mission
This article offers a framework for historical analysis of the goals of Protestant missionary projects. ‘Conversion’ in Protestantism is not clearly defined, is liable to be falsified and may (in some missionary views) require preparatory work of various kinds before it can be attempted. For these reasons, Protestant missionaries have adopted a variety of intermediate and proxy goals for their work, goals which it is argued can be organised onto …
Health Beliefs, Behavior, Spiritual Growth, and Salvation in a Global Population of Seventh-day Adventists
Background The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a growing global denomination with strict substance use abstinence and recommended dietary requirements that together are called the "Health Message." Abstinence from alcohol and tobacco is a requirement of membership and a plant-based diet is strongly advised. Purpose While a wide variety of research has reported the Adventist health advantage, very little research has been conducted on Adventist me…
The price of legitimacy in humanitarian intervention
It rarely if ever happens that a foreign gov[ernmen]t gives up its selfish interests, its passions or its prejudices to the force of argument or persuasion; and the more such a gov[ernmen]t is in the wrong, the more pig headed it generally is, because its being very much in the wrong is a proof that it is deaf and blind to reason and right. Persuasion seldom succeeds unless there is compulsion of some sort, nearer or further off behind it. Lord P…
British anti-slave trade and anti-slavery policy in East Africa, Arabia, and Turkey in the late nineteenth century
There is no feeling so strong in England as the Anti-Slave Trade feeling. Lord Northbrook to Baring, 7 March 1884 Philanthropy decidedly costs money. Goschen to Gladstone, 19 September 1871 The abolition of the slave trade in East Africa, Arabia, and Turkey was a lengthy process, the most intense and climactic period occurring in the final third of the nineteenth century. This coincided with the conquest of Africa by European states. Just as the …
Intervening in the Jewish question, 1840–1878
I cannot subscribe to the doctrine that the humanitarian treatment of the Jews in the Principalities is not a subject for foreign interference. The peculiar position of the Jews places them under the protection of the civilised world.J. Green, British Consul-General in Bucharest to Stefan Golescu, Romanian Foreign Minister, 2 August 1867
Humanitarian Intervention
The dilemma of how best to protect human rights is one of the most persistent problems facing the international community today. This unique and wide-ranging history of humanitarian intervention examines responses to oppression, persecution and mass atrocities from the emergence of the international state system and international law in the late sixteenth century, to the end of the twentieth century. Leading scholars show how opposition to tyrann…
‘If a prince use tyrannie towards his people’
If a prince doe violently breake the bonds of pietie and justice, an other prince may justly and lawfully exceede his owne limittes, not to invade the other's, but to force him to be content with his owne. If a prince use tyrannie towards his people, we ought to ayde no lesse, than if his subjectes shoulde raise sedition against him.A short Apologie for Christian Souldiours (1588)
European Warfare, 1350–1750
The period 1350–1750 saw major developments in European warfare, which not only had a huge impact on the way wars were fought, but also are critical to long-standing controversies about state development, the global ascendancy of the West, and the nature of 'military revolutions' past and present. However, the military history of this period is usually written from either medieval or early-modern, and either Western or Eastern European, perspecti…
Artful Armies, Beautiful Battles
Calvinist Internationalism and the English Officer Corps, 1562–1642
This article uses a crucial but little‐known text to examine two problematic issues in early‐modern history: whether there was, in any meaningful sense, a ‘Calvinist international’; and the extent to which religious commitment influenced career soldiers. The Defence of Militarie Profession (1579), by a Calvinist soldier, Geoffrey Gates, is rich on both issues and an excellent potential source for students. This article outlines how close reading …
Holy War and English Culture Under Elizabeth I
The Context of War and Violence in Sixteenth-Century English Society
The Elizabethan epoch has long been regarded as a period in which England, isolated from the rest of Europe, fell behind the Continental powers during an era of "military revolution." More recently, England's sixteenth-century military history has attracted a growing number of scholars, but their conclusions vary widely and seem impossible to integrate. Yet recent analyses have generally been too narrowly focussed on events in Elizabethan England…
Sir Horace Vere in Holland and the Rhineland, 1610-12
The article presents and interprets (based on primary as well as secondary sources) transcriptions of five letters of Sir Horace Vere, written from the Netherlands to the Stuart court in 1610 and 1612. The letters reveal new data about the 1610 Cleves-Ju ̈lich War, a precursor of the Thirty Years War; cast new light on the Arminian crisis, especially in the Netherlands; and illustrate in detail the workings of military patronage in early seventee…
Early‐modern Colonial warfare and the campaign of Alcazarquivir, 1578
The words 'colonial warfare' tend to conjure up extraordinary visual images which come, in the main from the world of cinema: of The Four Feathers and the thin red line confronting fuzzy-wuzzy; of Zulu Dawn and slaughter at Isandlwana, and of Zulu and victory against the odds at Rorke's Drift; of the Bengal Lancers and Gunga Din; of white-coated, blue-kepied French Foreign Legionnaires fighting cruel Arabs in Beau Geste and a hundred other such f…
