History presentation this Friday

Nipissing University welcomes Mr. Borislav Chernev, to campus for a special presentation titled, The Future Depends on Brest-Litovsk': War, Peace, and Revolution in Central and Eastern Europe, 1917–1918.  The lecture takes place on Friday, March 16, at 5 p.m. in Room A226.
Chernev is doctoral candidate in history at the American University in Washington, D.C.  He will discuss previously overlooked aspects of the Brest-Litovsk Peace Conference, which took place between December 1917 and March 1918, in an attempt to resolve the hostilities in the Eastern European theatre of the First World War. Focusing on the importance of Austrian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian delegations, the presentation will emphasize the domestic implications of peacemaking, and ask how the conference contributed to transmuting World War I into later national and social revolution in the vast region affected by the treaty.

The presentation is sponsored by Nipissing’s History department.  It is free of charge, everyone is welcome and refreshments will be served.
