Discipline, Terror, and the State
Violence was key to state administration and politics in interwar Europe, particularly in the major authoritarian regimes on the Continent: Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the Soviet Union. Yet the nature and level of violence varied substantially among these three regimes, as did the importance of violence in daily policing operations and in people’s lived experiences. This chapter examines the role of violence in state administration in these …
Power Relations during the Transition from Nazi to Post-Nazi Rule
Europe’s mid-century crisis of the 1940s destabilized power relations due to the simultaneous expansion and erosion of state power relative to society. This in turn unleashed a process of paramilitarization that eroded the state’s monopoly over the use of force. Ferocious struggles for power broke out at a local level between a wide range of gangs and armed bands. Paramilitarization reached a high point during the chaotic transitional period betw…
Political Violence and Mass Society
This chapter examines political violence in a new age of mass politics, looking in particular at ideas of a ‘European civil war’. Civil war, however, requires more than ideological division and was a discrete and unusual circumstance. The chapter problematizes binary understandings of Left and Right, looking instead at struggles for public space, youth, and masculinity as key aspects of the political and cultural violence of the interwar period. …

The Holocaust in European History
This chapter outlines some of the Holocaust’s fundamental causes and characteristics, and its parallels and contrasts with other genocides. It begins by reminding readers of the profound questioning and uncertainty about human progress that emerged in the wake of the experience of National Socialism and the Holocaust, as a result of which our relationship to the modern world has changed. It notes the continuing difficulty historians, social scien…
Fascism and the Right in Interwar Europe
Is it possible to speak of the interwar right in Europe in terms of a dichotomy between ‘fascism’ and ‘authoritarianism’, or of ‘new’ versus ‘old’ right? The rise of fascism in Italy and, later, Germany inspired fellow radicals in many European countries. In addition, however, the perceived ‘success’ of fascism exercised a critical influence on the ‘old’ conservative and authoritarian right, as both challenge and opportunity. Forces of the ‘old’ …
Europe’s Civil Wars, 1941–1949
A number of the conflicts that wracked European countries under Axis-power occupation during the Second World War can be understood as civil wars. This analytical prism should be seen as complementing rather than replacing the more conventional pairing of collaboration and resistance. The three European cases from this period that best fit conventional notions of civil war in terms of the intensity and duration of fighting among co-nationals are …
Total War
Total war had a specific gendered meaning in the First World War in that it required the participation of men, women, and children in the maintenance of gendered notions of warriors, nurturers, workers, and patriots. Yet each of these ideals was also questioned and destabilized by war. Much of the work of war rests on families, who are expected to maintain households, livelihoods, and emotional ties with men far from their homes. As actors in the…
Remaking Europe after the First World War
Victorious Allied governments legitimized wartime sacrifice with promises of domestic prosperity and a peaceful international order. An American-sponsored League of Nations would mediate relations between liberal-democratic nation states. However, although parliamentary government was consolidated across north-western Europe, the peace fell short, failing to accommodate Bolshevik Russia or reach a legitimate settlement with a new and fragile Germ…
The Political ‘Left’ in the Interwar Period, 1924–1939
In the turbulent interwar period, the political ‘Left’ was one of the most visible protagonists, with historians continuing to disagree about the role it played in shaping the outcome of the political struggles. Embedded in strong ‘moral narratives’ about the ‘rise of fascism’, the ‘crisis of democracy’, and the nature of the Bolshevik Revolution, the political Left has been vilified or lionized. For the period from the mid-1920s until 1939, both…
Axis Imperialism in the Second World War
Common characteristics and objectives united the Axis alliance, composed of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and imperial Japan. All three were ‘latecomers’ to the great power rivalries of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and all attacked the Wilsonian-inspired global order enshrined after the First World War. Hostile to liberalism, ‘open door’ capitalism, socialism, and communism, the Axis championed authoritarianism, autarky, and …
Interwar Crises and Europe’s Unfinished Empires
The period 1914–45 represents the height of European overseas empire even as seeds were sown hastening imperialism’s demise. Colonies were ‘unfinished empires’ in the process of becoming, although frequent resorts to violence in the colonies indicated the limits of Europe’s grasp. Although many emerged from the First World War dubious about European so-called civilization, the civilizing mission survived and flourished, suggesting Europe’s enduri…
The Oxford Handbook of Europe 1914-1945
The period spanning the two World Wars was unquestionably the most catastrophic in Europe's history. Despite such undeniably progressive developments as the radical expansion of women's suffrage and rising health standards, the era was dominated by political violence and chronic instability. Its symbols were Verdun, Guernica, and Auschwitz. By the end of this dark period, tens of millions of Europeans had been killed and more still had been displ…
Before the Nation
"It is common for survivors of ethnic cleansing and even genocide to speak nostalgically about earlier times of intercommunal harmony and brotherhood. After being driven from their Anatolian homelands, Greek Orthodox refugees insisted that they 'lived well with the Turks', and yearned for the days when they worked and drank coffee together, participated in each other's festivals, and even prayed to the same saints. Historians have never showed se…

Colonialism and Modernity
On 19 February 1933, the Messaggero di Rodi , the principal newspaper of the colony, celebrated the tenth anniversary of Mario Lago’s tenure as governor. Normally a modest publication of four pages, the Messagero celebrated the occasion with a thirty-page bumper edition, adorned with a large portrait of Lago on the cover. The central theme of this special commemorative issue was the metamorphosis of Rhodes. 1 The Messaggero boasted: Since the Con…
Italian Colonialism, Italian Character
Colonialism has attracted scholars from an array of disciplines and ideological standpoints, and among this hybrid group a broad consensus seems to have been reached: nothing can be said for colonialism. As Nicholas Thomas recently put it, colonialism is generally regarded as ‘pervasively efficacious: natives were extirpated, the impact was fatal, the colonized were dominated and assimilated’. As Thomas further notes, however, the impact of the c…
Protest and Proto-Nationalism
The Greeks of the Dodecanese found many aspects of Italian rule impressive, even seductive, but they never accepted the legitimacy of the foreigner’s presence. Their opposition was made quite clear in a series of plebiscites between 1912 and 1923, while anti-Italian sentiments were sometimes voiced during social protests which erupted intermittently during the following period. These social protests merit close study because they bring many of th…
Italy’s Aegean Possession
The Great Powers did not approve of Italy’s latest territorial acquisition. Britain and France in particular feared the consequences of the Dodecanese falling into the hands of Germany, Italy’s powerful ally. 1 Close to both the Dardenelles and the Suez Canal, and within sight of Asia Minor, the Dodecanese were widely recognised as having much strategic significance, and many believed that Italy’s foothold in the region would be a destabilising i…
Epilogue
After the islands were formally ceded to Greece in 1947, the memory of Italian rule quickly assumed an important role in the lives of ordinary Dodecanesians. Though they identified with Greece as their nation, and accepted Greek rule as legitimate, they also felt that for some time after unification they were experiencing a new ‘occupation’, and they conveyed this feeling by describing the Greek state as ‘other’. Among the interviewees, this was …
The Dodecanese in 1912
Communities select and maintain particular memories in order to construct and reaffirm collective self-images. 1 For the Greeks of the Dodecanese, memories of the Italian Occupation have been particularly important in upholding their unique identity within contemporary Greece. This chapter will deal with features of the physical, social and historical environment which influenced the nature of conceptions of local identity, and how background fac…
The Poetics of Patriotism
In the previous chapter, I argued that traditional views about the influence of nationalism on popular dissent needed radical qualification. Nationalism remains, however, an important theme for our understanding of Italian rule because it constituted the only articulated and sustained anti-foreign ideology. The basic features of Greek nationalist thought need to be defined in order to describe how patriots saw their Italian occupiers, and to asse…
