The First World War proved to be a calamity for both Germany and Europe, and the Second World War magnified this tragedy even further. Without both World Wars the Euro Ipean Union (EU) as we know it today might not exist. This article delves into the consequences of World War I, shedding light on the profound impact it had on shaping the course of history. The EU has provided the essential infrastructure to deal with ‘the German Question’ – the role of the largest and most powerful state in Europe. When Europeans commemorate the Great War of 1914-18 this summer they should be reflecting not only on the diplomatic blunders and the enormous waste of lives but also the beginning of a new approach to international relations epitomised by the EU. The First World War destroyed empires, created numerous new nation-states, encouraged independence movements in Europe’s colonies, forced the United States to become a world power and led directly to Soviet communism and the rise of Hitler.

Against all odds – learning from great projectors: Nikola TeslaWith this article we continue a series of pioneers and projectors to learn from. You are all encouraged to write about great projectors out of your context so we may learn from them and improve our way of performing projects. “Projector” is a term introduced by Daniel  Defoe in “An Essay upon Projects” (1697). It refers to people that “project” into the future and thus make them real. A true projector is “he who, having by fair and plain principles of sense, honesty, and ingenuity brought any contrivance to a suitable perfection, makes out what he pretends to, picks nobody’s pocket, puts his project in execution, and contents himself with the real produce as the profit of his invention.” History is full of those people, let´s make use of their stories by explaining the narrative behind. This article is about Nikola Tesla –  a physicist, inventor, mechanical and electrical engineer of unusual intellectual brilliance...

1480s The Portuguese populate their island colonies off the coast of western Africa  largely with enslaved Black Africans. The Portuguese also take many African captives back to Portugal. c. 1500 Spain and Portugal begin establishing colonies in the New World. Large parts of the Caribbean will be depopulated during the European conquest. Increasingly, captives will be shipped from Africa to replace the enslaved Indians. 1600s transatlantic slave tradeSlave traders transfer captives to a ship along the western coast of Africa. The Africans will be transported across the Atlantic Ocean and enslaved in the Americas. The Dutch, English, and French also establish colonies in the New World and become major participants in the transatlantic slave trade.

Demand for slave labor rises sharply with the growth of sugar plantations in the Caribbean and tobacco plantations in the...

The Battle of Mount Ortigara (June 1917

Image
The Battle of Mount Ortigara (June 1917)  was not the largest or most costly battle on the Italian front, but for nineteen days in June of 1917 it was a microcosm of mountain front's warfare and the terrible attrition of the Great War. Ortigara is often called "the Calvary of the Alpini" with its useless sacrifice of Italy's finest troops. In a determined offensive on the Trentino Plateau, Italian General Ettore Mambretti seized strategic Monte Ortigara. However it was quickly retaken by Austrian General Artur von Mecenseffy in some of the bloodiest alpine fighting of the war. Austria lost 9,000 casualties, and the Italians sacrificed over 23,000 men (2,800 killed). The reality of two years of warfare on the Altipiano [starting in May of 1915] had seen endless Italian and Austrian raids, artillery duels and several pitched battles, primarily around Monte Pasubio. Little or no change occurred in the existing line, the old frontier, including the mighty Strafexpedition ...
