[OTTOMAN MILITARY MAP of PATAGONIA and FALKLAND ISLANDS: ROUTE of DRESDEN] Alman kruvazörü Dresden'in takîbi ve tahrîbi.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original color map. Elephant folio. (59x75 cm). In Ottoman script. [OTTOMAN MILITARY MAP of PATAGONIA and FALKLAND ISLANDS: ROUTE of DRESDEN] Alman kruvazörü Dresden'in takîbi ve tahrîbi. SMS Dresden cruiser's routes between 1913-1915 (World War 1) on the Patagonian shelf; western shores of South America, Patagonia and Falkland Islands. Dresden spent much of her career overseas. After commissioning, she visited the United States in 1909 during the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, before returning to Germany to serve in the reconnaissance force of the High Seas Fleet for three years. In 1913, she was assigned to the Mediterranean Division. She was then sent to the Caribbean to protect German nationals during the Mexican Revolution. In mid-1914, she carried the former dictator Victoriano Huerta to Jamaica, where the British had granted him asylum. She was due to return to Germany in July 1914, but was prevented by the outbreak of World War I from doing so. At the onset of hostilities, Dresden operated as a commerce raider in South American waters in the Atlantic, then moved to the Pacific Ocean in September and joined Maximilian von Spee's East Asia Squadron. Dresden saw action in the Battle of Coronel in November, where she engaged the British cruiser HMS Glasgow, and at the Battle of the Falkland Islands in December, where she was the only German warship to escape destruction. She eluded her British pursuers for several more months, until she put into Robinson Crusoe Island in March 1915. Her engines were worn out and she had almost no coal left for her boilers, so the ship's captain contacted the local Chilean authorities to have Dresden interned. She was trapped by British cruisers, including her old opponent Glasgow. The British violated Chilean neutrality and opened fire on the ship in the Battle of Más a Tierra. The Germans scuttled Dresden and the majority of the crew escaped to be interned in Chile for the duration of the war. The wreck remains in the harbor; several artifacts, including her bell and compass, have been returned to Germany.

[Napoléon, retour des cendres] Philippe de Rohan-Chabot (1815-1875), comte de Jarnac, militaire, diplomate.
Lettre autographe signée
[Napoléon, retour des cendres] Philippe de Rohan-Chabot (1815-1875), comte de Jarnac, militaire, diplomate. L.A.S., Paris, 1er juillet [1840], 1p in-8. Probablement au 2e duc de Rovigo (1813-1872). « Mon cher Rovigo, Je ferai tout ce qui dépendra de moi pour aller vous serrer la main avant mon départ, mais vous ne sauriez croire à quel point chaque minute est prise dans le peu de jour qu'on m'a laissés à Paris pour me préparer à cette campagne lointaine. Mille amitiés de coeur. Ph de Rohan-Chabot ». Il s'agit sans nul doute d'une lettre peu avant son départ pour Sainte-Hélène, pour aller chercher les cendres de Napoléon. [443-2]

From the United States Department of State:<br /> <br /> Austrian State Treaty 1955<br /> On May 15 1955 representatives of the governments of the Soviet Union Great Britain the United States and France signed a treaty that granted Austria independence and arranged for the withdrawal of all occupation forces. These governments signed the agreement with the understanding that the newly independent state of Austria would declare its neutrality creating a buffer zone between the East and the West. The Austrian State Treaty was the only treaty signed by both the Soviet Union and United States in the decade after the 1947 Paris Peace Treaties and it marked the only Cold War era withdrawal by the Soviet Union from a territory it occupied.<br /> The Austrian situation was unique in postwar Europe. In 1938 it had been the only nation to be annexed in its entirety by Nazi Germany a fact that raised consistent questions during the war about the extent to which the country was a victim of Nazi aggression or whether it had been a collaborator. At the Potsdam Conference in 1945 the Allies agreed that they would jointly occupy Austria in the postwar period dividing the country and its capital Vienna into four zones as they planned to do with Germany and Berlin. The Soviets also demanded reparations from Austria a request that was dropped due to the country's non belligerent status but the United States did agree that the Soviet Union would be entitled to any German assets in the Soviet occupation zone. In contrast to Germany the Austrian government continued to exist in the postwar period and govern although the Four Powers could veto any new legislation if they unanimously agreed to do so. This arrangement was maintained until the withdrawal of the occupying powers upon the completion of the Austrian State Treaty.<br /> The breakdown of the wartime "Grand Alliance" and the emergence of the Cold War led to the Austrian occupation lasting far longer than anyone anticipated. Negotiations over the final status of Austria began in 1947 when half of fifty-nine proposed articles for a treaty were agreed upon. At the first meeting the foreign ministers agreed to name the agreement under negotiation the Austrian State Treaty not the Austrian Peace Treaty to acknowledge that Austria's involvement in the war had not been voluntary and that the treaty was therefore not to end a war but to reestablish an independent state. The principle sticking point during the 1947 negotiations was the issue of German assets: how they were defined and just how much compensation the Soviet Union was entitled to take. The Soviet occupation forces had seized control of factories railroads as well as oil and shipping concerns all of which had been under Nazi control at one point or another and only offered to sell them back to the struggling Austrian provisional government at exorbitant prices. As a solution to this situation France suggested a revenue-sharing plan in which some profits from the formerly German-held industries would be sold back to Austrians and some would operate independently with the Austrian State and occupying powers sharing their revenue but then the Soviet Union refused the treaty claiming some Austrian territories on behalf of the government of Yugoslavia. The parties finally reached an agreement in 1949 in which the West would offer economic concessions to the Soviet Union in exchange for the Soviet relinquishment of Yugoslav claims. Just when a deal appeared imminent the Soviet Union again opted not to sign; in fact at several points throughout the process the Soviet Union delayed completion of the treaty while it reconsidered what benefits it hoped to gain from the agreement.<br /> Between 1950 and 1953 tense Cold War relations and the existence of a hot war in Korea also contributed to stalling the talks on the Austrian situation. Then after the death of former premier Joseph Stalin in 1953 his successors in the Soviet Union launched a "peace offensive" to try to decrease international tensions. Although there were some concrete indications of the new policy such as relaxed controls in East Berlin and the newfound willingness of the Chinese to discuss Korean War POW exchanges after Chinese leaders visited Moscow U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower stated that he would only agree to holding a summit meeting with the Soviet Union if there were several clear indications that Soviet actions would match its rhetoric of peace. One of the examples he named was the completion of the Austrian State Treaty. Even before negotiations on the treaty restarted there were indications that Soviet policy toward Austria was liberalizing as it loosened restrictions on the press and travel in and out of its sector and also worked to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Austrian Government.<br /> With the German assets question all but settled in the last set of draft treaties the question holding up the negotiations at this stage was the issue of Austrian neutrality. The Austrian Foreign Minister went through the neutral government of India to inform the Soviet Union that if a treaty was signed independent Austria would also remain neutral staying out of NATO or other defensive arrangements. Eisenhower was against neutrality on principle and he was both angered by this maneuver and hopeful that Austrian neutrality could still be prevented. One particular danger was that West Germans anxious for their nation's own reunification would follow the Austrian example and offer their neutrality in an effort to expedite unification. German neutrality would have greater implications for American security plans in Europe than Austrian neutrality would. In late 1954 the West German Government and the Western powers at last reached an agreement under which Germans would rearm under the NATO command reassuring the United States.<br /> Finally in April of 1955 and after substantial debate on both sides representatives of the Austrian Government traveled to Moscow and returned just four days later with a complete treaty that outlined compensation to the Soviet Union for German assets and the nature of Austrian neutrality. U.S. officials demanded two changes in the treaty regarding the upper limit placed on Austrian armed forces and the removal of a clause on voluntary repatriation of displaced persons that they feared could be used by the Soviet Union to force anticommunist refugees to return to East Bloc countries. The Soviets conceded on both points. The overall terms of the treaty were less favorable to the Soviet Union than previous proposals but the timing was right for the USSR to initiate its withdrawal from Austria. On May 15 representatives from Britain France the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Austrian State Treaty ending seventeen years of occupation by foreign troops. As promised the newly-independent nation declared and maintained its neutrality for the remainder of the Cold War. n/a unknown
