Kalecká, Karolína ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor) ; Županič, Jan (referee)
The thesis is focused on cruises of Austrian and Austro-Hungarian navy's ships in remote areas. These cruises called "Missionsreisen" were undertaken to train the crews in different conditions, but staffs were correcting maps, looking into local markets and weather conditions as well and they might have been able to carry out more scientific research. The first that big cruise was the expedition of frigate Novara. On the base of research consisting of studying the reports written by commanders of various ships is possible to say that this expedition was very different from the later cruises. Apart from general conditions on the ships, the differences were in the purpose of cruises or scientific benefits. Novara's expedition was focused on science much more than later missions for which were exploring local conditions in terms of navigation and economy the most important or almost the only ones fields of research. The ships' commanders had to see to the training of crews and the economy of cruises, especially in terms of consummation of coal. Tens of ships were sent to these missions, the investments into them were most likely reasonable. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Second Schleswig War and Its Consequences for Europe
Ďásek, Martin ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor) ; Županič, Jan (referee)
(in English): This bachelor thesis should report about The Second Schleswig war as an encounter which led to much more serious conflicts such as Austro-Prussian War in 1866 as well as Franco-Prussian War from 1870, because this struggle and its consequences were the direct reasons of the war between two German Powers. Analysis of Austrian position in German Confederation showed that Austria hadn't have enough power and influence to play a major role in Germany and dominancy of Bismarck's Prussia was inevitable. The thesis continues with too self-confident Danish policy that started the war the Danes couldn't win. The Second Schleswig war has to be considered a one of the major events in unification of Germany. Analysis of not even primary sources such as letters and essays of the politicians explain why Bismarck succeeded and became almost the most powerful figure of his time. The clear victory in the war and on diplomatic field opened the way to the German unification. The Kingdom of Denmark was brought to his knees, King Christian IX. renounced his rights over the Duchies to the hand of Prussian and Austrian and the connection between duchies and Denmark, lasting over the centuries, was gone. The Kingdom of Denmark has lost his influence in European affairs, but Prussia headed to the creation of...

Kočvar, Jan ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor) ; Županič, Jan (referee) ; Tejchman, Miroslav (referee)
Austro-Hungarian Activities in China, 1894-1914 PhDr. Jan Kočvar My Ph.D. thesis evaluates Austro-Hungarian activities in China between 1894 and 1914, especially their political aspects. I would like to explain the nature of Austro-Hungarian contacts with China and their significance for the Dual Monarchy. The main source for my thesis was constituted by the materials in Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv in Vienna. Austria-Hungary concluded diplomatic relations with China in 1869, but her position in China remained weak. After the Sino-Japanese War, the Far East became a focus of interest of the Great Powers, and in 1896 was appointed the first Austro-Hungarian Minister to China. During the Scramble for Concessions in late nineties, Austro-Hungarian navy conducted survey of Chinese littoral and contemplated an establishment of a naval base in China, but finally rejected this idea. Austro-Hungarian trade and other interests in China were too insignificant to justify such an action. The peak of Austro-Hungarian presence is connected with the Boxer Uprising of 1900. Austria-Hungary didn't contribute to its genesis. During the uprising, Austro-Hungarian sailors were fighting in besieged Legation Quarter in Beijing, as well as in the metropolitan province of Zhili. Thereafter, Austro-Hungarian diplomacy took...
