Media Library | Speeches | President of Ireland

25th February 2021 Uachtarán, I am most grateful to you for the invitation to speak today, and I am honoured to be part of this event. Can I begin, perhaps, with the theme of empire, since you have placed this at the heart of your concerns for our discussion – and since Professor John Horne has highlighted the issue in his eloquent introduction. Let me then move to consider partition, particularly in relation to unionism, since this has a relevance and challenge in terms of the President’s emphasis on ethical commemoration. Let me also attempt to follow John, if I can, in his European and global approach to the history of Ireland a century ago.

Why Did Slovakia Ally Itself With Nazi Germany in World War II?

Monsignor Josef Tiso led Slovakia into an alliance with Hitler and the Nazis. Here s What You Need to Know: Hitler’s war and the alliance with Nazi Germany eventually became unpopular in Slovakia. According to the 1960 memoirs of Henriette Hoffmann von Schirach, Adolf Hitler called Father Josef Tiso, a monsignor in the Roman Catholic Church and premier of Fascist Slovakia, “The little parson.” CBS radio broadcaster William L. Shirer described Tiso as being “almost as broad as he was tall” in his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Dr. Paul Schmidt of the German Foreign Office recalled, “It was strange to see Hitler greeting this Catholic priest with friendliness; the short, stout Catholic dignitary stood facing a man who could hardly be called a friend of the Catholic Church, but when Tiso wanted something for Slovakia, he would have visited the devil himself. He once told us, ‘When I get worked up, I eat half a pound of ham, and that soothes my nerves.’�

The Boss of Austria | Maclean s

The Boss of Austria A Sketch of “Iron Count Tisza Who Has Ruled for Many Years. THE outside world has had the vaguest ideas of real conditions in AustriaHungary, not only since the war started but before as well. The figure of the old Emperor stood out and other names were familiar though occasional mention in the newspapers Berchtold, Tisza, Burian. It is interesting to learn, therefore, that the Dual Monarchy has possessed for many years a “boss.” Tisza, the “Iron Count,” exercised absolute dominion over Franz Josef and since the accession of Carl he has still been the dominating factor despite the new incumbent’s dislike for him. Tisza is a picturesque figure, a Bismarck almost. At time of writing he is again in control of affairs in Austria and so it may be that the end of the “ramshackle empire” will come with the old pilot still at the helm.
