  • Introduction: The Blockade in the Era of the World Wars

    Alan Kramer, Samuël Kruizinga et al.ARTICLEThe International History Review2024

    How did blockades shape the course, outcome and aftermath of the world wars? In both wars, belligerents sought to blockade their enemies, cutting them off from vital resources such as food, oil, information and capital to hasten their defeat. They thus impacted societies the world over, testing their resilience and vulnerability. They produced new forms of violence and humanitarian care, prompted innovation and learning, and had integrative and d…

  • Recent Historiography of the First World War: (Part II)

    Open AccessAlan KramerARTICLEJournal of Modern European History2014

    The first part (JMEH 12 (2014) 1, 5-28) dealt with the internationalisation of First World War historiography and transnational history. It asked why the war is almost entirely unknown in the history and memory of some states, while it has powerful symbolic value in others. It provided an overview of the literature on the origins, combat on the Western Front, other fronts and non-combatants. It located the international historiography since 2001 …

    Open AccessAlan KramerARTICLEJournal of Modern European History2014Cited by: 3

    Recent Historiography of the First World War Locating recent international historiography on the First World War within the long-term context, this article discusses above all the internationalisation of the topic and the trend towards transnational history. It asks why the war is almost entirely unknown in the history and memory of some states, while it has powerful symbolic value in others. Was the war a kind of «laboratory» for later radicalis…

  • Dynamic of Destruction: Culture And Mass Killing In The First World War

    Alan KramerBOOKDynamic of destruction2007

    On 26 August 1914 the world-famous university library in the Belgian town of Louvain was looted and destroyed by German troops. The international community reacted in horror - ‘Holocaust at Louvain’ proclaimed the Daily Mail - and the behaviour of the Germans at Louvain came to be seen as the beginning of a different style of war, without the rules that had governed military conflict up to that point - a more total war, in which enemy civilians a…

  • The First Wave of International War Crimes Trials: Istanbul and Leipzig

    Open AccessAlan KramerARTICLEEuropean Review2006Cited by: 5

    The Nuremberg tribunal following the Second World War is universally considered as the foundation stone of international law with regard to war crimes and crimes against humanity. It may come as a surprise, however, to learn that the first international attempts to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity came at the end of the First World War, with trials held at Allied prompting in Turkey and Germany

  • German Atrocities, 1914: A History of Denial

    Stanley Hoffmann, John Horne et al.REVIEWForeign Affairs2002

    Is it true that the German army, invading Belgium and France in August 1914, perpetrated brutal atrocities? Or are accounts of the deaths of thousands of unarmed civilians mere fabrications constructed by fanatically anti-German Allied propagandists? Based on research in the archives of Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, this pathbreaking book uncovers the truth of the events of autumn 1914 and explains how the politics of propaganda a…

  • Wackes at war: Alsace-Lorraine and the failure of German national mobilization, 1914–1918

    Open AccessAlan KramerCHAPTERState, Society and Mobilization…1997

    In Alsace-Lorraine, a largely German-speaking region annexed from France in 1871, the mobilization process of 1914–18 was a failure that transcended the general failure of mobilization in Germany. This chapter aims to show how the military leadership proved unable to realize the military potential of its Alsace-Lorraine troops, and how the attitude of Alsace-Lorrainers towards the Reich was transformed by the war from acquiescence into hostility.…

  • The West German Economy, 1945-1955

    Dieter Haselbach, Alan KramerARTICLEGerman Studies Review1995

    This concise overview of the German 'Economic Miracle' of the post-World War Two reconstruction years argues that the German ecoonomy was in a far healthier position at the end of the war than previously thought, and that the preconditions for growth - a skilled and abundant labour supply and a favourable international political climate - facilitated the phenomenal 'recovery' and economic growth that was to follow
