“Too Soon to Tell”
The popular anecdote that Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai once declared it “too soon to tell” the significance of the French Revolution of 1789 is clearly recognizable as a meme and has followed a winding path through media history. While the story was seemingly debunked in 2011, when it was revealed that Zhou had meant the 1968 unrest in Paris—rather than the French Revolution—it is argued this was merely another stage in its hundred-year evolution. …
Local anxieties and world peace
This article examines the career of Osias Parnes, a little‐known figure in the Austrian peace movement and argues that, although his plans for world peace were ultimately inconsequential, his ideas are reflective of the way in which international visions actually encapsulated local preoccupations. Born into a wealthy Jewish family in the multiethnic and multiconfessional region of Galicia in the middle of the 19th century, Parnes would devote the…
Europe's disintegrative moment
In 1919 the Paris Peace Conference met to remake the world following the First World War. Among the most serious problems faced was the collapse of the multinational empires which once dominated central and eastern Europe, and the emergence of new successor states with unrecognised and overlapping borders. This fragmentation produced chaotic economic conditions as borders were frequently closed without warning, and the passage of goods and people…
Accommodating the post-war order
During the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 multiple commissions were dispatched to manage the birth of the post-First World War order across central and eastern Europe. Examining the two commissions which managed the dispute over the former Habsburg Duchy of Teschen, Silesia, from the perspective of the Hotel Brauner Hirsch where they resided, this article examines the connections between diplomacy, tourism, geopolitics, and the hotel. While their…
Administering the Administrators
The administration of the industrially important Saar territory, taken from Germany following the First World War, was one of the League of Nations’ most high-profile tasks. As the first instance of international territorial administration undertaken by an international organization, striking the right balance between control and autonomy proved challenging for the League. At the heart of the challenge was the relationship between the Governing C…
International Commissions, the Birth of Albania, and Sir Edward Grey’s Preventive Diplomacy during the Balkan Wars, 1912-1913
International commissions played an important but overlooked role in Great Power diplomacy during the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913. In establishing the new state of Albania, they served as tools of preventive diplomacy that enabled the Great Powers to avoid a disastrous direct confrontation. This analysis examines the use of such commissions and argues that although they succeeded in preventing Great Power conflict in the short-term, their instrument…
