  H-Net Review: Carol Lilly on Eugenics and Modernization in Interwar Romania   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Interwar Romania was a largely agrarian country just on the threshold of modernization, Bucur reminds us when discussing her work's local historical context.
Romania's underdeveloped status also meant a heavy emphasis among interwar eugenicists on the role of the peasantry as the primary source of national vitality and on the importance of improving educational and health care policies in the village.
Among the policies the interwar eugenicists promoted were such positive concepts as the state's responsibility for public hygiene and sanitation facilities, an emphasis on preventative health care, and increased education.

We must bear in mind that the interwar East European states faced enormous problems, most of which could not be solved in twenty years, especially in view of the paucity of foreign capital investment before the Great Depression struck in 1930, and virtually none after that.
However, both were unfeasible in the interwar period because neither the Polish minority of East Galicia nor Polish public opinio as a whole would tolerate it.
In the interwar period, it took different forms in different parts of Poland, but was generally passive except in times of economic crisis.

 Community and Identity in the interwar Shtetl
During the interwar period the khevre kadisha remained a focal point of conflict, and communal political alignments and tensions were often reflected in the khevre.
Of all the new changes affecting the interwar shtetl, one of the most significant was the advent of the youth movements.60 Although the great ideological movements that swept Eastern European Jewry had begun before World War 1, they did not become mass movements until the postwar period, and their vital core was the youth organizations.
The interwar archives of the Miftsk Mazowiecki town council, where as a result of incorporation the Jewish delegates were in a minority, record the constant struggle to retain town subsidies to Jewish communal institutions.

 Interwar period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Interwar period (also interbellum) is understood within Western culture to be the period between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Second World War in Europe, specifically 11 November 1918 to 1 September 1939.
It was marked by turmoil in much of the world, as Europe struggled to recover from the devastation of the First World War.
In North America the first half of the interwar period is often seen as one of considerable prosperity, but this changed dramatically with the onset of the Great Depression in 1929.

 faber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
To support this basic theme, this article will first describe the development of US strategic bombing doctrine by the ACTS in the interwar years and then explain why it was morally and legally sufficient at the time.
In contrast, interwar Army and Navy traditionalists did not believe the modern bomber was a revolutionary, war-winning weapon.
The critics of strategic bombardment have repeated this argument, connected it to an alleged legal-moral shift that occurred in the interwar years, and suggested that jus in bello and legal precepts were ready alternatives to what later transpired in the Second World War.

The interwar disorder often is linked to policies inconsistent with the constraint of the open-economy trilemmathe inability of policymakers simultaneously to pursue a fixed exchange rate, open capital markets, and autonomous monetary policy.
We apply theory and empirics to the interwar data and find strong support for the logic of the trilemma.

 Poland - Interwar Poland
Minority peoples became increasingly alienated, and antisemitism rose palpably in the general population.
Nevertheless, interwar Poland could justifiably claim some noteworthy accomplishments: economic advances, the revival of Polish education and culture after decades of official curbs, and, above all, reaffirmation of the Polish nationhood that had been disputed so long.
Despite its defects, the Second Republic retained a strong hold on later generations of Poles as a genuinely independent and authentic expression of Polish national aspirations.

From an Asian history perspective, the Japanese use of chemical weapons in China isn’t really “interwar,” as major combat operations began in late ‘37 (leading to the Nanjing Massacre, etc.) and ran continuously through ‘45.
In interwar France the Armee de l’Air was regarded by conservatives as ‘The Service of the Left’, because it had been created partly to counterbalance the reactionary Army.
