From liberation to occupation: Rethinking Allied rule in Italy
This introduction situates the Allied occupation of Italy as a distinctive yet comparatively underexplored case within the broader history of mid-twentieth-century military occupations. It traces the origins, peculiarities, and contradictions of Allied rule, foregrounding the tension between liberation and occupation that shaped both contemporary experiences and subsequent historiography. After outlining the fragmented development of the field an…
The Paradoxes of Metamorphosis
How can we make sense of the cumulative experience of role reversal during and after the Second World War? This concluding article weaves together the insights from the contributions of this special issue and identifies four overarching themes: the reshaping of power relations; the interconnectedness of experiences of foreign rule; the interrelations and blurred boundaries between occupation and imperial rule; and the multiple, protracted endings…
The Age of Metamorphosis: Power Shifts, Role Reversals, and Social Transformations Across the Global Second World War
This special issue on The Age of Metamorphosis explores the global phenomenon of role reversals under various forms of foreign rule during the Second World War and its immediate aftermath. At its core is an examination of how individuals and communities across the globe navigated the profound socio-political transformations brought about by war, occupation, and empire. Bringing together historians of Asia, Australia, as well as Eastern and Wester…
Imperial Boomerang: Ruling the British Zone of Germany, 1945–1949
Military occupation and imperial domination have often been regarded as two distinctive ruling systems. This article calls this dichotomy into question and looks at how imperial ruling techniques informed occupation practices in mid-twentieth-century Europe. Through an analysis of the British occupation of north-western Germany after the Second World War, the article provides an in-depth exploration of the imperial experiences, imaginaries, and d…
Legitimising Occupation: The Quest for Popular Consent during the British Occupation of Germany, 1945–1949
This article explores the quest for legitimacy and popular consent during the British occupation of north-western Germany between 1945 and 1949. It does so through an analysis of two major propaganda campaigns that sought to publicly legitimise the British occupation at home and in Germany: ‘Germany under Control’, a large-scale exhibition put on display in London in 1946; and ‘Operation Stress’, the largest propaganda campaign in the British Zon…
The British Occupation and the Making of Democracy in Italy and Germany, 1943–1949
Over the past two decades, historians have become increasingly fascinated by the question of what enabled the emergence of a stable model of democracy in post-war Western Europe, characterized by the persistence of pre-war elites and top-down forms of decision-making. This article reveals the importance of the British occupations during and after the Second World War in fostering this model of democracy. It does so by comparing and weaving togeth…

No Easy Occupation: French Control of the German Saar, 1944–1957
The history of the Allied occupation of Germany after the Second World War has recently been experiencing a slow but budding renaissance. After having been the subject of much neglect over the last two decades, several doctoral theses and monographs have been written and new themes, often imported from neighbouring research fields, have opened up novel ground. In doing so, they have shifted our attention away from the diplomatic history of the oc…
Demokratisierungsprozesse in der Nachkriegszeit: Die CDU in Schleswig-Holstein und die Integration demokratieskeptischer Wahler
In a recent historiographical review, Mark Mazower has identified the question of ‘why the authoritarian German dog failed to bark’ as one of the classic interpretative problems of Western Europe’s postwar history. Yet, although the question is old, historians still all too often tend to address it through broad generalizations which eschew empirical analysis of concrete instances of ‘democratization’. Allan Borup’s stimulating Demokratisierungsp…
