Violent Resistance - From the Baltics to Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe 1944–1956 | Michael Gehler, David Schriffl

Brill | Schöningh , 2020 , 978-3-506-70304-0

The end of the Second World war did not mean the end of violence for many regions in Eastern Europe. The establishment of Communist-led governments often met not only civil but also armed resistance. These actions were taken by partisan groups and paramilitary forces which in some cases had been formed already during the war to support axis forces. In other cases – like Poland’s Armia Krajowa – they fought Nazi and Soviet occupiers with the same fervour. The aims of the fighters were the end of Communist rule and – like in the Baltic region – independence from the Soviet Union.

Schnell + Steiner , 2019 , 978-3-7954-3299-7

This book aims to investigate the mutual relations between the House of Arenberg, which originally owned estates mainly in the southern Netherlands, the Rhineland and France, and the Habsburg Monarchy, on diverse levels and in an international context. The book aspires to explore continuities and change in the case of a European noble family during the longue durée of the modern era from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, with emphasis on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
