Bøger om Oceans and seas

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,0, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Hausarbeit befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, dignitas und gloria als casus belli ¿ Zur Bedeutung des meritokratischen Standesethos¿ als soziokulturelle Ursache für Roms Imperialismus.Seit Raaflaub die persönliche Akkumulation von dignitas und gloria als faktischen casus belli hinter den Kriegen von Caesar herausgestellt hatte, geriet der unter anderem auf militärischen Erfolgen basierende meritokratische Standesethos der mittleren und späten Republik als soziokulturelle Ursache für Roms Imperialismus in den Fokus der Forschung. Während sich in der Forschung allgemein die Tendenz abzeichnet, römische Gebietsausdehnung infolge persönlicher Akkumulation von dignitas und gloria vor allem auf das Paradebeispiel Caesar zu reduzieren, wodurch der standes-ethisch und damit soziokulturell bedingte Imperialismus möglicherweise in Tradition Raaflaubs allenfalls als sonderbares Randphänomen abgetan wird, bemerkt Kostial, dass ¿die antike Historiographie auch nicht (verschweigt), daß es in der Geschichte Roms eine ganze Reihe von Kriegen gab, deren Ursache allein in der Ruhmsucht des Konsuls zu suchen war¿ und führt einige Beispiele an, die eine bedeutsame Korrelation zwischen dem meritokratischen Standethos und dem römischen Imperialismus suggerieren. Die Vielzahl an Kriegen, deren casus belli dignitas und gloria bilden, allein ist noch kein geeigneter Indikator für einen soziokulturell bedingten Imperialismus. Erst unter eindringlicher Analyse der moralischen Prinzipien und formalen Regulierung der aristokratischen contentio dignitatis atque gloriae sowie Betrachtung der für den Imperialismus relevanten Folgen (Triumphzüge und Gebietsausdehnung) lässt sich aus den Beispielen ein aussagekräftiges Urteil generieren. Konzeptionell und methodologisch ist die Arbeit in zwei größere Teile angelegt. Im Mittelpunkt des ersten Teils (Kapitel 2) stehen mit der contentio dignitatis atque gloria und ihrer ¿Spielregeln¿ zentrale Charakteristika des leistungsorientierten Standesethos¿, die als theoretische Grundlagen zum Verständnis der Korrelation zwischen Leistungsethos und röm. Imperialismus beitragen. Im zweiten Teil (Kapitel 2) werden die Grundlagen eingangs genutzt, um Kriterien zu bestimmen, die über die Bedeutung bzw. Bedeutungslosigkeit der Korrelation entscheiden. Im Anschluss werden die von Kostial exzerpierten Beispiele auf diese Kriterien hin untersucht, ehe nach einer Bilanzierung, das Fazit die Arbeit abrundet.

At one point in antiquity, the Achaemenid Persian Empire was the largest empire the world had ever seen, but aside from its role in the Greco-Persian Wars and its collapse at the hands of Alexander the Great, it has been mostly overlooked. When it has been studied, the historical sources have mostly been Greek, the very people the Persians sought to conquer. Needless to say, their versions were biased, and attitudes about the Persians were only exacerbated by Alexander the Great and his biographers, who maintained a fiery hatred toward Xerxes I of Persia due to his burning of Athens.In This Book, You Will Learn About:Who is Alexander the Great?Conquering Persia - Then the WorldThe Siege of TyreHis Last Few TriumphsAlexander's Many AlexandriasThe Spread of GreekFrom birth and through his early years, tutored by Aristotle at the will of his father, also a successful commander, Phillip II, Alexander was molded to become the greatest leader the Greeks had ever known. Through the personal training from his father in the art of commanding an army, Alexander proved at every battle that he was far superior to any other general of the time, and quite possibly, the greatest military leader of all time.

The fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Ottoman armies led by Mehmed II marked a momentous event that had far-reaching repercussions across Renaissance Europe. This event catalyzed the migration of Byzantines to various regions, including Italy, carrying with them the rich heritage of Greek antiquity. Among the figures contributing to the Renaissance was Laonikos Chalkokondyles, whose work held particular significance. His detailed application of Herodotos' historical methods to the fifteenth century, titled "Apodeixis Historion," served as a lens through which he interpreted the rise of the Ottoman Empire in light of ancient history. This work, printed in Latin, French, and Greek, achieved widespread success.Chalkokondyles' historical approach rejuvenated ancient categories such as ethnicity, political governance, language, and geography to provide insight into contemporary events and societies. By restoring these Herodotean concepts, he offered a framework to understand the dynamics of his time. In this endeavor, he markedly diverged from the approaches taken by previous Byzantine historians, demonstrating a departure that can be termed "revolutionary classicizing."This term encapsulates Chalkokondyles' innovative approach to historical interpretation. Instead of adhering to the traditional model of lawful imperial rule, he reintroduced the notion of oriental tyranny when describing the emerging Ottoman state. While his emulation of ancient classics might appear on the surface, his revival of political concepts represented a radical departure from the norm. Notably, he reintroduced the idea of city-states as distinct ethnic units, emphasized freedom as independence from foreign domination, and highlighted law-giving as a core element of Hellenic tradition-a concept not typically extended to the Christian era.Chalkokondyles' work illustrates the complex relationship between historical interpretation and contemporary perspectives. By applying ancient methodologies to his time, he crafted a new understanding of political structures and principles. In essence, his "revolutionary classicizing" approach exemplified how the past could be reimagined and repurposed to comprehend the evolving world, ultimately contributing to the transformative period of the Renaissance.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,7, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, erst einmal das grundlegende Argumentationspotential des "mos maiorum" in Tacitus¿ Augustus- und Tiberiusbild aufzuzeigen. Über Tacitus¿ spezifischen Gebrauch des argumentativen "mos maiorum", lassen sich die von Tacitus möglicherweise korrumpierten Kaiserbilder entlarven. Sollte sie die Methodik als geeignetes Mittel erweisen, wäre es insofern hilfreich, als dass man die Kaiserdarstellungen nicht zwangsläufig gegenhalten muss (z.B. an Suetons oder Dios Darstellungen), um Konstruktionen und Abweichungen vom ¿realen¿ Bild zu erkennen.

The New York Times bestselling author of Dark Invasion and The Last Goodnight once again illuminates the lives of little-known individuals who played a significant role in America's history as he chronicles the incredible true story of a critical, recently declassified counterintelligence mission and two remarkable agents whose story has been called the greatest secret of the Cold War. In 1946, genius linguist and codebreaker Meredith Gardner discovered that the KGB was running an extensive network of strategically placed spies inside the United States, whose goal was to infiltrate American intelligence and steal the nation's military and atomic secrets. Over the course of the next decade, he and young FBI supervisor Bob Lamphere worked together on Venona, a top-secret mission to uncover the Soviet agents and protect the Holy Grail of Cold War espionage--the atomic bomb.Opposites in nearly every way, Lamphere and Gardner relentlessly followed a trail of clues that helped them identify and take down these Soviet agents one by one, including Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. But at the center of this spy ring, seemingly beyond the American agents' grasp, was the mysterious master spy who pulled the strings of the KGB's extensive campaign, dubbed Operation Enormoz by Russian Intelligence headquarters. Lamphere and Gardner began to suspect that a mole buried deep in the American intelligence community was feeding Moscow Center information on Venona. They raced to unmask the traitor and prevent the Soviets from fulfilling Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's threat: We shall bury you!A breathtaking chapter of American history and a page-turning mystery that plays out against the tense, life-and-death gamesmanship of the Cold War, this twisting thriller begins at the end of World War II and leads all the way to the execution of the Rosenbergs--a result that haunted both Gardner and Lamphere to the end of their lives.
