Call for Papers

Ein wesentliches Ziel des Arbeitskreises "Welt- und globalgeschichtliche Perspektiven im Geschichtsunterricht" der Konferenz für Geschichtsdidaktik (KGD) ist die Entwicklung globalgeschichtlicher Perspektiven für den kompetenzorientierten Geschichtsunterricht. Insbesondere geht es darum, neuere globalgeschichtliche Ansätze und Konzepte für den Geschichtsunterricht fruchtbar zu machen.

This 3rd international workshop of the ERC project "Experience, Judgement, and Representation of World War II in an Age of Globalization" (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) aims to historicize the case of Palestine during WWII.

2017 marks the hundredth anniversary of US entry into the First World War. That conflict saw the emergence of the US as a global military power, but also had a profound impact on American society and culture. In subsequent years, war and conflict of various sorts have shaped the way that Americans think about their place in the world and their relationships with each other, and has molded the way that the US is viewed in international and transnational contexts.

In der Frühen Neuzeit waren Kriege ein fester Bestandteil der sich intensivierenden Interaktion zwischen Europa und der außereuropäischen Welt. Mittlerweile spricht man in diesem Zusammenhang weniger vom Prozess der europäischen Expansion als von Prozessen der Globalisierung, nicht mehr von der Diffusion europäischer Praktiken und Wissensbestände, sondern von Zirkulation, Aneignung und Verflechtung.

-   The impact of WWI on subsequent wartime treatment of POWs

Bis zum Jahr 2020 werden die britischen Streitkräfte aus Westfalen abgezogen sein - damit geht eine Ära zu Ende.

39th Annual Conference of the Historians in the GAAS (German Association for American Studies)

2017 will mark the centennial of U.S. entry into World War I. The war had a profound impact on the United States and on its global role. Well before the country entered the war, the U.S. had become a key supporter of the Allies, shifting the global balance of power to set the stage for what has been called the "American century."

Few events are so engrained into the American psyche and popular culture as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite the attack’s centrality in America’s road to war narrative, most Americans know very little about the causes of the event. The abridged understanding goes something like this: on December 7, 1941, the empire of Japan launched a sneak attack against the United States for no reason. Japan’s ambassadors had been engaged in discussions with American diplomats as a smokescreen, masking the “evil empire’s” true intentions—world domination.
