Originally propelled by Southern interests in the expansion of slavery, this interventionism was doomed by secession...

... Albarracín argues that “empirical works that do not consider the complex nature of immigrants and immigration policies are doomed to have limited explanatory power” (p. 8). For this reason, Albarracín continues, “this book contemplates how economic, cultural, and international factors intersect state...

... Lacking a spirited consul or a spectacular event routine, consulates are doomed to oblivion. The U.S. mission on the Texas border at Ciudad Porfirio Díaz (now Piedras Negras) during the first years of the Mexican Revolution succeeded in both regards, but it has remained for Dorothy Kerig to bring...

... the writing. The author has plumbed brilliantly, however, the many printed sources and pieced together one of modern history’s greatest stories, the defeat of the Spanish Armada of 1588. Launched by Philip II to attack Protestant (read heretic) England, it was doomed from the moment it began to assemble...

... the situation, it is suggested, but this is a conclusion sharply in contrast to the gloom-doom dogmas of the dependency school.

... of preparation by the immigrants doomed most of these sponsored immigration projects to failure. Scots, Canary Islanders, and Germans alike quickly abandoned the agricultural colonies for the cities or left Venezuela altogether. Two exceptions to the general failure were the much-studied Colonia Tovar, a German...

..., War and Revolution is an essential accompaniment, but the editor justifiably argues that it shows the importance of skilled guerrilla resistance alongside disease and ineptitude in the British failure to master Haiti. More specifically, the journal is primarily a regimental . . . history of a doomed...

..., down from an estimated 1500 at the beginning of the century. By 1953, there were only 51 left and the tribe seemed doomed to extinction.
