This pioneering comparative history of the participation of indigenous peoples of the British Empire in the First World War is based upon archival research in four continents. It provides the first comprehensive examination and comparison of how indigenous peoples of Canada, Australia, Newfoundland, New Zealand and South Africa experienced the Great War. The participation of indigenes was an extension of their ongoing effort to shape and alter their social and political realities, their resistance to cultural assimilation or segregation and their desire to attain equality through service and sacrifice. While the dominions discouraged indigenous participation at the outbreak of war, by late 1915 the imperial government demanded their inclusion to meet the pragmatic need for military manpower. Indigenous peoples responded with patriotism and enthusiasm both on the battlefield and the home front and shared equally in the horrors and burdens of the First World War.

Oil is the source of wealth and economic opportunity. Oil is also the root source of global conflict, toxicity and economic disparity. When did oil become such a powerful commodity-during, and in the immediate aftermath of, the First World War.In his groundbreaking book The First World Oil War, Timothy C. Winegard argues that beginning with the First World War, oil became the preeminent commodity to safeguard national security and promote domestic prosperity. For the first time in history, territory was specifically conquered to possess oil fields and resources; vital cogs in the continuation of the industrialized warfare of the Twentieth Century. This original and pioneering study analyzes the evolution of oil as a catalyst for both war and diplomacy, and connects the events of the First World War to contemporary petroleum geo-politics and international aggression.

Tödliche Insekten: Wie Stechmücken die Weltgeschichte beeinflusstenTodesursache Nummer 1: die Mücke! Sie ist winzig, aber mächtig, denn ihr Stich überträgt tödliche Krankheiten in pandemischem Ausmaß. Malaria, Gelbfieber, Denguefieber und andere Infektionskrankheiten gehen auf ihr Konto. In 200.000 Jahren Menschheitsgeschichte haben Stechmücken vermutlich mehr als 52 Milliarden Menschen getötet. Das ist die Hälfte aller Menschen, die jemals gelebt haben! Der kanadische Historiker Timothy C. Winegard zeichnet ein vollkommen neues Bild vom Entstehen und Vergehen von Völkern und Staaten, von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Er macht seine Leser bekannt mit Steckmücken-Arten wie der Anopheles-Mücke und der Gattung Aedes. Wie diese Insekten den Lauf der Weltgeschichte prägten, erzählt er in seinem packenden Buch.- Moskitos in den Pontinischen Sümpfen: Aufstieg und Untergang des Römischen Reiches durch Malaria?- Tödliche Epidemien bei der Kolonialisierung Amerikas: Warum die Einreise der Krankheitserreger mit Sklaven aus Afrika und europäischen Einwanderern ein Todesurteil für die indigene Bevölkerung war- Der Einfluss von Infektionskrankheiten auf den Unabhängigkeitskrieg der USA und den Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg- Mit DDT gegen Malariamücken: biologische Kriegsführung vom Zweiten Weltkrieg bis zum Verbot des InsektizidsKlimawandel und Erderwärmung: Stehen uns neue Epidemien bevor?Erst im 20. Jahrhundert gab es erste Erfolge im Kampf gegen die Stechmücken. Doch die Erderwärmung begünstigt die Ausbreitung neuer gefährlicher Arten. Krankheitserreger wie das Zika- und das Westnil-Virus sind auf dem Vormarsch. Hat die Menschheit eine Chance im Kampf gegen diese Seuchen?In Timothy Winegards Buch erfahren Sie, was die Mücken angerichtet haben, was bisher im Kampf gegen sie unternommen wurde und wie wir uns für die Zukunft wappnen können!
