Online seminar: 鈥楥ivil Wars and the making of Europe鈥檚 twentieth century鈥.
Date: 27 January 2022, 4.00pm
Venue: Online as part of the History Research Seminar Series, School of History, 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork
Professor Robert Gerwarth, Department of History, 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Dublin presents a paper examining how Civil war, as much as inter-state war, was a defining feature of the period for many European societies, ranging from Ireland in the west to Russia in the east, and from Finland in the north to Spain and Greece in the south. While civil war had been a prominent and recurring element of modern Europe's history, from the seventeenth century to the twenty-first, they acquired a particular density in an era which has come to be associated primarily with the inter-state conflicts of the two world wars. This lecture will propose a number of themes that could form the basis of a new comparative history of civil wars in Europe in the first half of the twentieth century.

Event: National Conference on the Irish Civil War
Date: 15-18 June 2022
深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork (UCC) will host the Irish Civil War National Conference, to mark the centenary of the opening of hostilities at the Four Courts in Dublin. Working with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, this conference will align with the core principles of the Irish government鈥檚 Expert Advisory Group on Commemorations by encouraging, 鈥榤ultiple and plural鈥 perspectives on complex and contested events. The four-day conference will seek to explore political, social, cultural, military, and economic dimensions to the Irish Civil war. It will also locate the Irish experience within the broader context of similar national, imperial and European political realignments following the end of the Great War. Wider historiographical and theoretical perspectives on the phenomenon of civil war, as experienced both before and since 1922-23, will also be invited to place the Irish Civil War within broader chronological and geographical frameworks. The conference will seek, neither a single agreed narrative, nor indeed a sense of 鈥榗losure鈥. Instead it will attempt to gather the fruits of on-going historical research in what the Expert Advisory Group describes as, 鈥榤eaningful engagements with a difficult and traumatic time鈥.
