Occupied Germany & Japan after WWII from Global Cultural History Perspectives (Besatzungsalltage/senryōka nichijō)

The postwar occupations of Germany and Japan were significant periods for the history of Europe and East Asia alike. They have both been thoroughly researched on their own right, yet until to date historical scholarship has hardly ever considered putting the history of both occupations into conversation, whether from comparative or entangled history perspectives. This talk, on the contrary, explores opportunities and challenges of writing a "geteilte Geschichte"—meaning both shared and divided history—of occupied Germany and Japan with a particular focus on the experience of the occupation period in peoples' everyday life, race, gender, and sexuality.

Struggling for Sovereignty, Changing Political Alliances: Western and Eastern European Military Assistance for Revolutionary Cuba During the Early Cold War

While the history of interactions between the superpowers during the Cold War is a well-known topic, minor actors continue to receive much less scholarly attention. Cuba, for example, did not become part of the international agenda until its 1959 revolution challenged U.S. hegemony and turned the country towards Communism. This presentation analyzes military assistance provided to revolutionary Cuba by Western and Eastern European countries and assesses the impact of U.S. pressure on Cuba's accelerated turn towards Communism.
