A Liberal Nationalist and Europe 1920-25. Ewald Ammende and his Idea of a Peaceful Continent.Housden, Martyn January 2006 (has links)
No / Ewald Ammende was a Baltic German businessman who championed the rights of national minorities in the 1920s. He helped set up the Verband der deutschen inderheiten
in Europa, played a part in the achievement of cultural autonomy in Estonia and established the Congress of European Nationalities. Although in the 1930s his career went awry as a result of compromising with National Socialism, this paper looks at the intellectual and practical world he inhabited in the early part of the previous decade. The views he held at this time about how best to preserve peace and stability in Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals defined him as a 'liberal nationalist'.

Ambiguous activists. Estonia's model of cultural autonomy as interpreted by two of its founders: Werner Hasselblatt and Ewald AmmendeHousden, Martyn 08 July 2009 (has links)
No / Baltic Germans who were active on behalf of especially German minorities throughout Europe during the 1920s have already found some recognition in especially German-language studies. Now they are receiving a wider coverage. Two of these men, Werner Hasselblatt and Ewald Ammende, came from Estonia and played a part in the development of the cultural autonomy legislation enacted in 1925. Traditionally this has been counted a positive contribution to the management of Europe's minorities during the inter-war period. During the 1930s at the latest, however, both Hasselblatt and Ammende drifted towards German National Socialism. Through an investigation of the ideas of these men, this paper attempts to interpret lives which helped to create apparently progressive legislation in the 1920s, but which compromised with a dreadful political movement soon afterwards. What were the motives behind their actions?
