The profound economic crisis of 1931-33 undermined the process of industrialisation and the stability of the regime.

War and Genocide in Cuba, 1895-1898
ISBN: 9780807859261 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From 1895 to 1898, Cuban insurgents fought to free their homeland from Spanish rule.

Employing newly released evidence--including hospital records, intercepted Cuban letters, battle diaries from both sides, and Spanish administrative records--Tone offers new answers to old questions concerning the war. He examines the origin of Spain's genocidal policy... From 1895 to 1898, Cuban insurgents fought to free their homeland from Spanish rule.

Casting a light on the clandestine activities of Sir Roger Casement in Imperial Germany from 1914 to 1916, this study reveals that German military intelligence and the Imperial Foreign Office had far-reaching plans to use the Irish in the war against Britain. Radical Irish-American leaders were behind Casement's mission to Berlin. It took some time until the highly sensitive and idealistic Casement realised that neither the German General Staff nor the Imperial Chancellor was able or willing to lend full military support to the Irish. When Casement began to see that the rising would be...
