Dams and the Deep Earth: The 1967 Koyna Earthquake and Human Agency in the Anthropocene Past & Present (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2025-01-31
Elizabeth Chatterjee, Sachaet Pandey-Geeta MantrarajOn 11 December 1967, a large earthquake devastated the village of Koynanagar in Maharashtra, western India. Many blamed the new Koyna hydroelectric dam nearby. Prompting international inquests, Koyna became perhaps the world’s most famous case of reservoir-induced seismicity, a novel type of earthquake triggered by human activities. We use the dam’s history to explore the emergent consciousness of

Balancing economic stress: The role of rural–urban migration in nineteenth-century East Belgium Explor. Econ. Hist. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2025-01-27
George C. Alter, Michel OrisIn this paper we propose an integrated view of both the rural and the urban sides of migration in 19th century East Belgium. We study two rural areas, Ardennes and the Pays de Herve, with diverging agrarian structures and pathways to modernization. Both areas faced the challenge of population pressure due to high fertility and falling mortality. Between them was a textile town, Verviers, which was

Enfranchisement, Political Participation, and Political Competition: Evidence from Colonial and Independent India The Journal of Economic History (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2025-01-24
Guilhem Cassan, Lakshmi Iyer, Rinchan Ali MirzaWe examine how political participation and political competition are shaped by two class-based extensions of the franchise in twentieth-century India. Creating a new dataset of district-level political outcomes between 1920 and 1957, we find that both the partial franchise extension of 1935 and the universal suffrage reform of 1950 led to limited increases in citizen participation as voters or candidates

Exploiting the expansion of the telegraph network in a difference-in-difference approach, I find that access to telegraphed news from Washington significantly increased voter turnout in national elections.

Beyond the Saturation Point of Horror. The Holocaust at Nuremberg Revisited Journal of Modern European History (IF 0.3) Pub Date : 2025-01-21
Kim Christian PriemelIt has long been a matter of contention what role the Nuremberg Trials accorded to the murder of the European Jews. While especially early historiography considered the Allied war crimes proceedings the beginning of «Holocaust trials», a later generation of scholars would argue that the extermination of Europe’s Jews was both under- and misrepresented in the course of the 1945–1949 trials. The present

Urs Matthias ZachmannHistory still looms large in the politics of East Asia. Rather than settling into a modicum of consensus, debates on how to understand and commemorate the Second World War even seem to gain in intensity and emotionality with the passage of time. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the debates on landmark cases of (post-) transitional justice, particularly the Tokyo Trial of 1946–1948 and later, more

A Global Conspiracy? The Berlin – Tokyo – Rome Axis on Trial and its Impact on the Historiography of the Second World War Journal of Modern European History (IF 0.3) Pub Date : 2025-01-21
Daniel HedingerThe Tokyo and Nuremberg tribunals led to the disappearance of the Axis alliance. In this process, a domestication of the past commenced in both Germany and Japan as the memory of the war became regionalised and, above all, nationalised. This has had paradoxical consequences to this day: we have been left with a history of the Second World War in which the world has been left out. This article argues

Will DamronBetween 1900 and 1930, the share of power in American manufacturing coming from electricity grew from 10% to 80%. Although electrification has been attributed with dramatic productivity gains, data limitations have constrained previous research to rely on aggregate data. Using a newly-collected dataset covering manufacturers in North Carolina in the early 1900s, I examine the effects of electrification

Conflict and Urban Mobility: Challenges and Responses to Free Movement in Belfast during the Troubles Journal of Modern European History (IF 0.3) Pub Date : 2025-01-17
Ashley M. MorinThe era of the Troubles in Belfast brought both challenges to free movement and grassroots responses to such challenges. The conflict itself inspired divisions and barriers to mobility within the city, notably including the establishment of British Army checkpoints and the construction of various “peace walls” under the direction of the British Government. While the geospatial significance of the Troubles

Janiv StambergerIn the 1920s, Eastern European Jewish immigrants settled in Antwerp and became economically active in the diamond industry.

The current article focuses on the specific economic position of Eastern European Jewish immigrant

After World War II came to an end, Christian hopes for a post-war spiritual renewal led to a significant resurgence of religion in the West. The trauma of division and oppression, as well as the fear of a devastating international nuclear war, resulted in a particular

Here, it is proposed that these developments were influenced by the effects of the plague. Exact levels

In-kind Wages: Understanding Workers’ Strategies to Cope with Inflation and Poverty International Review of Social History (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2024-12-30
Carmen SarasúaAlthough non-monetary benefits remain an important component of most workers’ wages in today's industrial economies, development economists and economic historians tend to view such payments as a remnant of older, obsolete labour regimes. But when in-kind wages are assumed to be exploitative, an outcome of market inefficiencies, or simply the result of limited supply of coinage, their actual economic

We identify the “Irish” in the records as those individuals with distinctively Irish surnames. From at least the mid-nineteenth century to 2018, we find that the Irish in England have persisted as an underclass, being on average 50 percent poorer than the English. Infant

Originating in New York City, the panic led to payment suspensions and emergency currency issuance in many cities. Data on the universe of interbank connections show that (1) suspension was more likely in cities whose banks had closer ties to banks at the center of the

The Price and Welfare Consequences of the British Sugar Act of 1846 The Journal of Economic History (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2024-12-26

This paper studies a historically tragic third-party consequence of a special case of tariff reform: the British Sugar Act of 1846. Using a new database of monthly observations of prices and import volumes for the period 1840–1853, I estimate the price and welfare effects of the passage of the Sugar Act for consumers

Adoption, Inheritance, and Wealth Inequality in Pre-industrial Japan and Western Europe The Journal of Economic History (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2024-12-26

Surprisingly, inequality was low and stable, unlike in Europe, where it was high and increasing. To explain this, I study inter-generational land transmissions. I find that Japanese households without sons adopted male heirs, thereby keeping lands in the family. In contrast, elite English male lines failed

We combine a panel of election results (1893–1933) with spatial heterogeneity in excess flu mortality to assess the pandemic’s effect on voting behavior across constituencies. Applying a dynamic differences-in-differences approach, we find that areas with higher influenza mortality saw a lasting shift towards leftwing parties.

Our analysis reveals no sustained decline in wage inequality before the Second World War but a marked decrease during the war years. This decline was driven primarily by stagnation among the top 1 % of earners and significant
