Nunn-Lugar Revisited Senator Sam Nunn details the politics of denuclearization at the Musgrove conference; to his right, Bill Perry and Gloria Duffy, September 2013. Washington, DC, November 22, 2013 – The final shipment of highly enriched uranium from former Soviet nuclear warheads to the U.S. on November 14, and President Obama's award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Senator Richard Lugar on November 20, have brought new public attention to the underappreciated success story of the Nunn-Lugar initiative — the subject of a new research project by the National Security Archive, which organized the first "critical oral history" gathering this fall of U.S. and Russian veterans of Nunn-Lugar. The former Soviet Union in the 1990s achieved an unprecedented "proliferation in reverse" with the denuclearization of former republics and the consolidation of nuclear weapons and fissile material inside Russia. Sergei Rogov describes Nunn-Lugar origins; to his left, Gen. Victor Yesin. Conference Agenda 1.

Image Archive on American Eugenics Movement he philosopher George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This adage is appropriate to our current rush into the "gene age," which has striking parallels to the eugenics movement of the early decades of the 20th century. Eugenics was, quite literally, an effort to breed better human beings – by encouraging the reproduction of people with "good" genes and discouraging those with "bad" genes. Eugenicists effectively lobbied for social legislation to keep racial and ethnic groups separate, to restrict immigration from southern and eastern Europe, and to sterilize people considered "genetically unfit." We now invite you to experience the unfiltered story of American eugenics – primarily through materials from the Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor, which was the center of American eugenics research from 1910-1940. You may find some of the language and images in this Archive offensive.
1 | 2012 L’attentat, objet d'histoire Sous des formes très diverses – du carnage au jet de chaussure en passant par le sabotage de voies ferrées et la fusillade ciblée –, l’attentat rythme notre actualité politique. Souvent englobé dans la catégorie pourtant récente et polémique du « terrorisme », l’attentat politique est en général présenté comme une des réalités qui, dans l’histoire, distinguent plus particulièrement notre époque. Ce numéro propose de s’interroger sur l’histoire et l’historicité de ce phénomène en réalité très ancien, mais qui marque de son empreinte notre modernité politique et médiatique. Sans ignorer la spécificité d’une violence « aveugle » ou « totale » peut-être propre au monde contemporain, mais sans s’enfermer non plus dans la notion trompeuse du « terrorisme », il nous a semblé important d’interroger dans le long terme les pratiques du meurtre politique, des techniques d’intimidation, des politiques de la peur et des tactiques de la terreur.
Operation Munchkin: Nazi plan to breed giant Angora rabbits for clothes Starving inmates of concentration camps were forced to grow fresh vegetables to feed the animalsSome were even executed by the SS for not showing the animals the proper respectThe brain child of Heinrich Himmler rabbit breeding programmes existed at 31 death campsHe wanted their fur for lined coats for the Luftwaffe pilots, cosy socks for U-Boat personnel and warm underwear for the infantry Animals given heated hutches and 'plenty of space' often just yards from where prisoners lived in squalid, over-crowded and freezing blocks By Alan Hall Published: 16:11 GMT, 26 September 2013 | Updated: 20:19 GMT, 26 September 2013 Details of a bizarre Nazi plan to breed giant Angora rabbits in concentration camps to provide fur-lined clothing for Hitler's armed forces has been unearthed in a German archive. 'Operation Munchkin', as it was known, was the brainchild of sinister S.S. chief Heinrich Himmler who was had a career as a trained chicken farmer before he became the architect of the Holocaust.

Höllische Ingenieure. Attentate und Verschwörungen, ca. 1300-1850 In den vergangenen Jahren sind zahlreiche Untersuchungen zu Attentaten und anderen Formen politischer Gewalt in der Moderne entstanden. Die Frühneuzeitforschung hat sich bei diesem Thema allerdings noch zurückgehalten. Auch die Kriminalitätsgeschichte hat das Feld der politischen Delinquenz vor 1800 bislang kaum in den Blick genommen. Die Tagung dient daher dem Zweck, bisherige Erkenntnisse zu bündeln, neue Erkenntnisse vorzustellen und weitere Forschungsperspektiven aufzuzeigen. Die Vorträge stellen nicht nur bislang kaum bekannte Fälle vor, sondern untersuchen diese mit Blick auf unterschiedliche Resonanzen: in der Strafrechtspraxis, in politischen und sicherheitspraktischen Diskursen oder in medialen Repräsentationen. Nicht zuletzt wird dabei auch gefragt, inwiefern infolge von Verschwörungen Sicherheit zu einem Gegenstand politischen Entscheidens geworden war.

List of recessions in the United States In the United States, the unofficial beginning and ending dates of national recessions have been defined by an American private nonprofit research organization known as the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The NBER defines a recession as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real gross domestic product (GDP), real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales".[1][nb 1] There have been as many as 47 recessions in the United States since 1790 (although economists and historians dispute certain 19th-century recessions[3]). Cycles in agriculture, consumption, and business investment, and the health of the banking industry also contribute to these declines. In the 19th century, recessions frequently coincided with financial crises. Early recessions and crises[edit] Attempts have been made to date recessions in America beginning in 1790. In the 1830s, U.S. See also[edit]

Timeline of United States military operations This is a timeline of United States government military operations. The list through 1975 is based on Committee on International Relations (now known as the Committee on Foreign Affairs). Dates show the years in which U.S. government military units participated. The bolded items are the U.S. government wars most often considered to be major conflicts by historians and the general public. Note that instances where the U.S. government gave aid alone, with no military personnel involvement, are excluded, as are Central Intelligence Agency operations. Extraterritorial and major domestic deployments[edit] Portions of this list are from the Congressional Research Service report RL30172.[1] 1775–1799[edit] 1775–83 – American Revolutionary War: an armed struggle for secession from the British Empire by the Thirteen Colonies that would subsequently become the United States. 1785–95 – Northwest Indian War: a series of battles with various native tribes in present-day Ohio. 1800–1809[edit]
