State power in Prague in august 1969
Brichta, Miloslav ; Tumis, Stanislav (advisor) ; Nálevka, Vladimír (referee)
Události 21. srpna 1969 reálnou mocenskou situaci v podmínkách rozdělené Evropy změnit nemohly. Ze zpětného pohledu byly spíše výrazem zoufalství nad již rozhodnutým zápasem. Realitou ale zůstává, že s tak velkým odporem v ulicích režim zřejmě nepočítal, k jeho potlačení musel nasadit jednotky milic a armády včetně tanků. Tanky byly bojově nasazeny poprvé a naposled v historii čs. ozbrojených sil od vzniku státu v roce 1918. Tvrdý průběh bojů, především ve večerních hodinách na druhou stranu umožnil režimu presentovat odpůrce normalizace jako vandalské a kriminální živly, kdy jen včasné a rozhodné nasazení ozbrojených sil zabránilo dalšímu ničení majetku a zajistilo ,,naprosté většině našeho lidu,, klid na pokojnou práci a tím účastníky demonstrací sociálně a psychologicky izolovat

The UN resolution concerning partition of Palestine and the end of the British mandate (the contribution to the establishment of state of Israel 1945-1949)
Kučerová, Markéta ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
Na základě vyhlášení rezoluce o rozdělení Palestiny se měly zfonnovat dva samostatné státy - jeden židovský a jeden arabský. Židovský stát v květnu 1948 opravdu vznikl, ale v Palestině již půl roku probíhala občanská válka. Britové do ní nezasahovali, snažili se z oblasti co nejrychleji stáhnout. Konflikt, který se po jejich odchodu naplno rozhořel, vstoupil do izraelské historiografie pod názvem Válka za nezávislost; do palestinské jako al-Nakba - Zkáza. Tisíce arabských obyvatel musely (ať už z vlastní vůle, nebo z nutnosti) židovský stát opustit, většina z těchto uprchlíků a jejich potomků žije i dnes v ubohých podmínkách na jeho hranicích. Ve své diplomové práci jsem se snažila analyzovat hlavní příčiny, které vedly k rozdělení Palestiny a k vytvoření židovského státu. Zabývala jsem se alternativními návrhy na možného řešení problému, také jsem analyzovala život obou komunit v meziválečném období a jejich smýšlení o svých rivalech, případně spoluobčanech. Zhodnotila jsem různící se postoje britských mandátních úředníků i britských vlád k palestinské problematice. Zabývala jsem se i osobními postoji a názory významných představitelů těchto úřadů. Stejným způsobem jsem pak postupovala i v případě Spojených států amerických, u nichž jsem analyzovala Trumanovy motivy k vehementní podpoře rozdělení, bez níž...

The Russia policy of Germany 1917-1918
Šulc, Jakub ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
German foreign policy and military activity on the Eastern Front between 1917 and 1918 was primarily determined by effort to make peace and to stabilize the situation there, which would allow the transfer of command of the German troops to the western line. There was necessary to determine the current impasse before landing of the first sections of the United States in the spring of 1918. Their presence would reverse the current ratio of balanced forces of both warring parties against the Germany. This policy has been influenced by several interconnected factors. Besides the already mentioned time limit on troop movements between fronts there was a important relationship with the new Government of St. Petersburg from November 1917. Despite the Germans initially envisaged cooperation in the negotiations on the basis of support for the Bolsheviks on their way to power, but then there was a fundamental contradiction and friction surfaces, which were partly caused by the differing views on the spread of revolution among the Bolsheviks themselves. Ambivalent relationship between Germany and Russia had not stopped the signing of Brest-Lithuanian Peace 3rd March 1918, but continued after, until the surrender of Berlin in the autumn of 1918. Both regimes is to achieve its goals could not miss each other when the...

On the Social Position of the Jewish Minority in Germany, 1871-1890
Plíčková, Helena ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
The thesis deals with the social position of the Jewish minority in Germany during the first decades of the Second Reich; it is intended as a contribution to the social history with an emphasis on the history of everyday life. It attemps to answer a question, why despite (what seemed to be) a highly successful assimilation, or more precisely acculturation, the Jews became a target of hateful attacks again in the late 1870's and 1880's. Various methods have been applied to determine, firstly, how the German-Jewish family life looked, whether and how its education approach and job structure differed from those of the majority; secondly, in which way the social-economic situation affected the minority position, its participation in public life and its attitude to the recently estabilished state; and last but not least, the way the German-Jews understood and perceived themselves, as well as the East European immigrants (so called Ostjuden) and the public's anti-Semitism. The result of the study shows that the German-Jewish values and customs were mainly identical to those of the bourgeoisie, probably with an endogamy being the only specific feature. At the time of rising Conservatism and in spite of experiencing bitter disappointment at the again appearing anti-Semitism, their optimism and trust in...

Women and the Question of Irish Independence
Blažková, Olga ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with women who played an active part in the struggle for Irish independence in the years 1890-1921. The women who I mainly focused on weren`t mere auxiliaries to men. Even though Ireland at that time was a highly conservative country, where the role of both sexes was strictly divided, these women managed to challenge social conventions. They founded their own national organizations, which (perhaps in their size, definitely in their prominence) had then no equivalent in other European countries. They used every opportunity to assert themselves in political as well as military fields and some of them even took up high political posts. Therefore besides depicting the actual activities of women on behalf of the national movement, this work is trying to evaluate the mutual relationship between nationalism and the question of women`s emancipation. The main events of the Anglo-Irish conflict then provide the background for this work. According to this the diploma is divided chronologically into three main chapters, which deal with the periods before and after the first world war. That is because the world war contributed largely to the breakout of the Easter uprising and the following rise of a mass revolutionary movement in Ireland. The diploma ends with gains of a dominion...
