Egy tábornagy bukása – Gondolatok Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf vezérkari főnök 1917. évi leváltásáról

Author(s): Dávid Ádám Ligeti / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

In this lecture, I would like to summarize the circumstances of the fall of the Austro-Hungarian chief of staff, Field-Marshal Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf in 1917. Conrad (1852–1925) was chief of staff from 1906 to 1911, and then again from 1912 to 1917. He was the longest serving chief of staff on either side during the war. His memoirs and records are an obvious, if poorly known source of the Great War. Although he managed to stay in the army, and remained a remarkable commander until the summer of 1918, Conrad’s career was doomed to failure from the point he was removed from his position as chief of staff. His successor, Arthur Arz, could not replace Conrad, but Arz’s personality was more suitable for Emperor Charles I, who wanted to make peace as soon as possible. I am looking for the answers to the following questions: Which events caused the end of his carrier? Why did Emperor Charles choose to remove Conrad?

A navalizmus és az osztrák-magyar haditengerészet felkészülése a Nagy Háborúra

Author(s): Mihály Krámli / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The Anglo-German naval arms race of early 20th century was one of the causes of First World War. There were also naval buildups in many other counties, so this period was described as the age of navalism. The intense naval buildup begun in 1904 in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which culminated in the dreadnought-programme of 1911-1914. The budget of the Austro-Hungarian Navy was quadrupled in this period. The Triple Alliance Naval Convention of 1913 calculated with joint Austro-Hungarian-Italian operations against the French fleet, but after the outbreak of the war the declaration of neutrality of Italy rendered the Convention a piece of paper.

Spanyolország az első világháborúban. A semlegesség dilemmái

Author(s): Mária Pallagi / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

I examine the Spanish neutralism during the WWI. Primarily I show the question of Spain’s role between 1914-1918 in the aspects of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy’s diplomats in Madrid and I examine the reports of the ambassador duke Karl Emil Fürstenberg. I try to find the answer: why was Spain, and the maintenance of Spanish neutralism important in the rivalry of the Great Powers and I show the division of the Spanish political elite and society in the question of the attitude towards war, while I emphasize the elements of the arguments, expectations and hopes of the two sympathizer camps towards the great powers. In my essay I prove the dilemmas of Alfonz XIII in connection with the neutralism as well.

A trianoni békediktátum aláírói az első világháborúban

Author(s): László Tamás Vizi / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

Few people know that the Hungarian government representatives, who acted as signatories at the Trianon peace dictate in the Grand Trianon palace of Versailles, had covered other roles as well during the Great War. Dr. Benárd Ágost (Welfare and Labor minister in 1920) as an army physician regiment colonel, served fifty month of front line service. and according to the medals received during the war, together with the military log of the Hungarian Royal 31st (Veszprém) Foot Regiment testify that he fought all the war years honorably and decently. His military deeds and his war letters to his son bring the war to a tangible closenes

Háborús gyűlölet andante és allegro. A hivatalos irodalom, a katolikus egyházhoz közeli irodalmi lapok és a háború Magyarországon (1914-1916)

Author(s): Eszter Balázs / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

As for European intellectuals, war gave way to a new field of experiences for Hungarian writers, scholars as well as for artists. Writers close to the inner circles of the power and those of the Catholic Church committed to take part energetically in the war efforts of their country from the first moment. Some characteristic topics were popular among them such as the „ideas of 1914” or the strategic use of Shakespeare. However, writers close to power were less radical in the hatred of the enemy than those of the catholic periodicals who included also verbal abuse and anti-semitism.

Charles de Gaulle és az I. világháború - Hatások és következmények

Author(s): Zoltán Garadnai / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The Great War changed a whole generation's lives. Due to his intellectual capacities and his moral conviction De Gaulle could solve his trauma of war, and during the two and a half years of his captivity he had enough time to „write out” his psychological wounds by self-training and self-education. At the same time he searched the possibilities for escaping from his military prison. The First World War remained as reference in his studies and determined his political decisions as well. In this study we can get to know a highly sensitive and introverted man.

„Mit ér a szavazati jog, ha elvész az ország ahol szavazhatunk?” A brit nők és a munka világa, 1914-1918

Author(s): Anita M. Madarász / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

From the beginning of the call for the first petition in 1866 until 1914 the lesser or greater groups were unable presenting considerable results. The government regarded the potential consequences – sometimes mentioned extremely ridiculous exceptions - and the members declined the suffrage for women until 1918. The breaking out of the First World War (or Great War) and the events of the four years following it contributed the fact that changing in the women’s social role and their political role should occur: the roles were changed, there was a need for the women and their work. It was necessary to say thanks to them for their vague work made in the course of four years and their voluntary willingnesses to make sacrifice somehow. So, the government granted the franchise, the opportunity that the women should be allowed to interfere in the establishment of the country’s politics among other things.

„Búr és Brit-is(h)”. A Maritz lázadás (1914‒1915). Egy majdnem polgárháború a Nagy Háborúban

Author(s): Gábor Szabó-Zsoldos / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

South Africa ten years after the Boer War was still a divided country. The end of the war and the establishment of the Union in 1910 emerged barriers between the political and military elite of the Afrikaners. Mainly this polarisation (ruling party – Afrikaner nationalists) and the social tension culminated in northern part of the former Orange Free State and west Transvaal led to the Maritz Rebellion. Although the governmental troops led by Prime Minister Louis Botha defeated easily the rebels, the political consequences of the Rebellion meant more difficulties for the ruling party than the fight. Present study deals with different aspects of the Maritz Rebellion as well as the way how the contemporary Hungarian public opinion interpreted that conflict.

Author(s): István Szilágyi / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The Portuguese foreign affairs have had three major priorities for centuries.The first one was the priviliged inter-state contacts with Great Britain, the second one was constituted by the changing and ambiguos connection with Spain. The maintenance and the keeping up of the colonial system formed the third main tendency.
