Großer Nordischer Krieg Der Große Nordische Krieg[1] war ein in Nord-, Mittel- und Osteuropa geführter Krieg um die Vorherrschaft im Ostseeraum in den Jahren 1700 bis 1721. Eine Dreierallianz, bestehend aus dem Russischen Zarenreich sowie den beiden Personalunionen Sachsen-Polen und Dänemark-Norwegen, griff im März 1700 das Schwedische Reich an, das von dem achtzehnjährigen König Karl XII. regiert wurde. Trotz der ungünstigen Ausgangslage blieb der schwedische König zunächst siegreich und erreichte, dass Dänemark-Norwegen (1700) und Sachsen-Polen (1706) aus dem Krieg ausschieden. Als er sich ab 1708 anschickte, Russland in einem letzten Feldzug zu besiegen, erlitten die Schweden in der Schlacht bei Poltawa im Juli 1709 eine verheerende Niederlage, welche die Kriegswende bedeutete.

Christopher Clark reviews ‘Wilhelm II’ by John Röhl, translated by Sheila de Bellaigue and Roy Bridge · LRB 23 April 2015 In January 1904, King Leopold II of Belgium was invited to Berlin to attend a birthday dinner for Kaiser Wilhelm II. The two monarchs were seated next to each other and everything was going nicely until the Kaiser suddenly brought up the question of a possible future French attack on Germany. In the event of a war between Germany and France, Wilhelm explained, he would expect the Belgians to side with Germany. So long as they agreed, he would see to it personally that Belgium was rewarded after the conclusion of hostilities with territories annexed from northern France. Leopold himself, he added, warming to his theme, could expect to be rewarded with ‘the Crown of Old Burgundy’. When the king of the Belgians, unsettled by these speculations, countered that the ministers and parliament of his country were hardly likely to approve of such far-flung plans, Wilhelm became flustered. The career of the last German Kaiser is littered with effusions of this kind. The sun was scorching.

LearningGames.pdf Zum Tod von Olaf Breidbach: Ein Meister der unerwarteten Verbindungen - Geisteswissenschaften © Jan-Peter Kasper/FSU Universität Jena Olaf Breidbach (1957 bis 2014) Wer je Olaf Breidbachs Büro in der Jenaer Berggasse betreten hat, wird es wohl kaum wieder vergessen. Als eine von viel zu wenigen Universitäten in Deutschland leistet sich die Friedrich-Schiller-Universität ein eigenes Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Untergebracht ist es an geschichtsträchtigem Ort – im einstigen Wohnhaus von Ernst Haeckel. Das Arbeitszimmer des berühmten Zoologen hat sich originalgetreu erhalten und kann noch immer besichtigt werden. So offen die Türen hier standen, ein Gespräch mit Breidbach setzte ein wenig Vorbereitung voraus. Verbunden wurden dabei mühelos entlegen scheinende Wissensfelder. Olaf Breidbach war ein Meister des unkonventionellen, ja des undisziplinierten Denkens. Mehr zum Thema Jedem Hirn ein Weltbild Nichts hat unsere disziplinierte Wissenschaftslandschaft so nötig wie gerade dies: undiszipliniertes Denken.
