Academic literature on the topic 'Landdagen'

In 1637 Hans Putmans, having just retired as governor of the Dutch East India Company's Taiwan comptoir, set out from the East Indies to return to Holland. During the long voyage home he composed a report about his last year as governor, describing how he had expanded the Company's control over large parts of the island's hinterlands. He himself had led Dutch troops against the town of Mattau, one of the most powerful aboriginal towns of Taiwan, and against the towns of Soulang and Taccareangh. The results of his expeditions were, he wrote, spectacular: ‘Through the […] guidance and will of God, [the conquest] was easily accomplished, and, since they had never before seen such a manner of war, our authority and respect among these blind heathen was extended and raised to such a point that not only the towns of Soulangh, Backeluan, […] Taccareijangh, […] and Mattau presented their lands to the Dutch state, but also Pangsoia, Tapouliang, and many other towns in the area’. In all some twenty aboriginal towns sought peace with the Company after Putmans' expeditions, a huge increase in the Company's holdings on Taiwan. When, in 1929, Putmans had taken his oath of office, his job had been to run a small trading factory on the island's coast, a base from which the Company could profit from the rich China trade. The subjugation of these twenty towns abruptly changed his job, and changed the Company's mission on Taiwan: How were these towns to be administered?

De veelzijdige literator Pol De Mont (1857 -1931) droeg gedurende decennia aanzienlijk bij tot de ontwikkeling van de Vlaamse taalbeweging in de richting van een nationale volksbeweging. Hij was een van de initiatiefnemers in de organisatie van een katholieke Vlaamse scholierenbeweging in de jaren 1870. Na zijn overgang naar het vrijzinnig liberalisme werd hij een voorvechter van de samenwerking van confessionele en vrijzinnige flaminganten, en van de democratische verruiming van hun beweging. Hij beleed heel sterk de völkische verbondenheid van Vlaanderen met Duitsland, sympathiseerde in de Eerste Wereldoorlog met het activisme, en werd een anti-Belgisch nationalist.__________ From the student movement via the ‘Landdag’ [Diet] movement towards a popular movement? Pol De Mont (1857-1931) The protean belletrist Pol De Mont (1857-1931) was for many decades instrumental in the Flemish movement’s transition from a predominantly linguistic movement towards a mass national movement. De Mont played a leading role in the organisation of a Catholic Flemish student movement in the 1870s, and, following his conversion to secular liberalism, became an ardent proponent of an augmented collaboration between confessional and non-denominational flamingants, and of a democratic enlargement of the movement. Moreover, De Mont would profess the völkisch [folkish] union between Flanders and Germany, sympathise with the activist movement during the First Word War, and ultimately proclaim himself an anti-Belgian nationalist.
