Austrai – nedidelė mažuma, kuri turėjo įtaką Lietuvos tarpukario gyvenimui. Vieni čia gyveno ir dirbo, kiti tiesiog atvykdavo poilsiauti. Pasirinktos dvi svarbiausios austrų lokalizacijos vietos Lietuvoje - Kaunas ir Klaipėdos kraštas. Magistrinio darbo objektas – austrai, gyvenę ar lankęsi Kaune ir Klaipėdos krašte 1924-1939 m. bei jų įvažiavimą ir buvimą reglamentuojantys dokumentai.. Darbo tikslas: išsiaiškinti dėl kokių priežasčių austrai imigravo 1924 – 1939 m. į Lietuvą ir kokį vaidmenį suvaidino Klaipėdos krašto ir Kauno pramonėje ir kultūriniame gyvenime Išanalizavus pirminius ir antrinius šaltinius, galima teigti, kad Klaipėdos krašte gyveno nedidelė austrų bendruomenė. Iš viso identifikuota 16 austrų. Keletas iš jų dirbo pramonės sektoriuje, taip pat restorane ir privačiose įstaigose. Dėl spartaus kultūros ir pramonės vystymosi daugiausia į Lietuvą atvykusiųjų austrų gyveno Kaune. Čia dauguma dirbo kaip artistai įvairiuose restoranuose. Didelė dalis atvykusiųjų dirbo ir pramonėje. Gamyklose dirbę austrai gaudavo didžiausią darbo užmokestį. Austrų, gyvenančių ir dirbančių Klaipėdos krašte 1924-1939 skaičius nežymiai augo. Daugiausia gyveno 1930 m. – 14 austrų. Kaune 1924-1929 m. gyvenusiųjų austrų skaičius svyravo nuo 30 iki 38. 1929 m. viduryje liko tik trečdalis gyvenusiųjų austrų. Austrų, gyvenančių ir dirbančių Klaipėdos krašte 1924-1939 skaičius nežymiai augo. Daugiausia gyveno 1930 m. – 14 austrų. Kaune 1924-1929 m. gyvenusiųjų austrų skaičius svyravo nuo 30...

Two major Austrian locations in Lithuania have been chosen – Kaunas and Klaipėda Region. Object of the master paper – Austrians who visited and lived in Kaunas and Klaipėda Region in 1924-1939 and the documents regulating their immigration and stay. Objective of the paper: to find out the reasons causing Austrians’ immigration to Lithuania in 1924-1939 and to find out what role they played in industry and cultural life in Kaunas and Klaipėda Region. Upon the analysis of primary and secondary sources, it can be stated that a small Austrian community lived in Klaipėda Region. In total 16 Austrians have been identified. Some of them worked in the industrial sector, also in a restaurant and private institutions. The biggest part of Austrians after immigration lived in Kaunas due to the quick development of culture and industry. Most of them worked here as artists in various restaurants. A big part of immigrants also worked in industry. Austrians who worked in the factories used to get the biggest salaries. The number of Austrians who lived and worked in Klaipėda Region in the years 1924-1939 was increasing little by little. The most Austrians lived in 1930 – 14 Austrians. The number of Austrians living in Kaunas in the years 1924-1939 ranged between 30 and 38. In the middle of the year 1929 only the third of the Austrians... [to full text]

About twelve miles to the south of Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula, there are two small islands, called St. Pierre and Miquelon which have belonged to France for nearly four centuries. In June of 1940 when France succumbed to the onslaught of the Nazis, the territory, like all other French holdings in the New World, fell under the control of the Vichy French government. But on December 24th, 1941, the Islands were seized by a Free French Naval task force acting under the direction of Charles de Gaulle, who had ordered this action not only in direct contradiction to the expressed wishes of the Allies, but also after having specifically assured them that he would not attempt to undertake such a move. The result was a serious diplomatic crisis, the ramifications of which far outweighed any importance the Islands themselves may have had. For by seizing this territory de Gaulle had brought himself into direct conflict with U.S. policy regarding the Western Hemisphere and, in addition, created great difficulties between the Allies over the issue of U.S. recognition of Vichy, versus British support for de Gaulle. / This thesis, then, will examine the events which led up to this crisis, and will attempt to ascertain what significance, if any, it had on the conduct of the war as a whole.

In spite of the crucial importance of the Russian front in the outcome of the Second World War, this aspect of the conflict has been studied relatively little in the West since 1945. This omission can be attributed to several factors including linguistic complexity, the difficulty of access to Soviet archives, and the political constraints caused by the ideological climate of the Cold War. Since the time of glasnost' and the collapse of the Soviet block, however, a new era has begun for historians thanks to the release of many documents which had been secret and to the improved ideological climate. / The present work aims to summarise the current situation of the debate in this rapidly expanding field of historiography. Some of the most controversial military, political, and strategic questions are examined, most frequently from a Soviet perspective. These include the Soviet preparations for war and their shortcomings; the German campaign of 1941 and the reasons for its failure; the turning of the tide in 1942-1943, especially the battles of Kursk and Stalingrad; the Yalta conference and the "division of the world"; the role of Stalin and his regime in the "Great Patriotic War"; the human and material losses of the Soviet Union during the conflict; and finally the importance of the Soviet contribution to the victory of the Allies.
