This month in 1919 Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio seized the Adriatic port of Fiume with a private army, placing the already fragile post-WW1 peace into danger: rte.ie/centuryireland…
My god, Monte Ortigara is a grim place...bleak, desolate and impossibly hard to take. The Italian tactics were hopeless, the weather was horrendous, the Austrian positions were very deep and well constructed, and the Alpini were sacrificed in huge numbers for no real gain. #WW1
Chinese students demonstrate in Tiananmen Square in Beijing to protest the Versailles Treaty that would give Shandong to Japan. The “May Fourth Movement” morphs into a wider movement of anti-imperialism, nationalism, and reform of culture and politics:
#OTD, 100 years ago, the German High Seas Fleet surrendered to the Royal Navy. After they had last met at Jutland, 70 German warships met well over 100 allied warships and sailed into captivity. It was the largest gathering of warships in close company in history.
German Navy sailors and workers led by Karl Artelt and Lothar Popp mutiny in Kiel, calling for “peace and bread.” 7 are killed and 29 injured when soldiers shoot on the demonstrators. Karl Artelt:
Oct 14th 1918: An 18-year-old English girl will spend one month in prison for “interfering with the discipline of German prisoners” by giving one of them bread in a country lane.
Oct 14th 1918: A photograph of British cavalry, which has been “brought into action on the Western Front to prod along the fleeing Huns and deprive them of rest”.
Oct 14th 1918: A Coventry court has sentenced a Belgian munitions worker to six months’ hard labour, after he distributed pamphlets “containing statements of a revolutionary nature”, apparently written by Lenin and Trotsky.
Oct 1st 1918: The German press is calling for “cool heads” as the never-before considered possibility that Germany may lose the war is having a “bewildering effect” on many people.
Thanks! I'm planning a text series on #WW1 next.
