This year treaties from Lithuania’s inter-war diplomacy - including with 🇯🇵🇺🇸 and USSR - were displayed in Vilnius for the first time. They left #Lithuania 80+ years ago and spent decades forgotten in a Toronto basement.
These are documentary evidence of who Lithuania treated with and how - including who recognised Lithuania’s independence 100 years ago.

A few years ago I was totally burned-out and depressed and off work for many many months. During that time I kept my brain going by doing some research into one of the first-ever ambassadors to #Sweden from England, John Robinson (born 1650). You can read his late-17th century diplomatic report on Sweden as a book here https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A57454.0001.001/ #history #diplomaticHistory #seventeenthCentury #sevenYearsWar

In my position at the Hensanjo, I am also a member of a team working on an English version of the Ishin Shiryo Koyo Database 維新史料綱要データベース, a day by day chronology listing of short summaries of "key events" leading up to and immediately following the Meiji Restoration.

🆕 Parabéns ao @victorpereira, um dos vencedores do Prémio Aristides de Sousa Mendes, atribuído pela Associação Sindical dos Diplomatas Portugueses. 🥳

O texto premiado realça o papel de vários diplomatas portugueses em França (que não Aristides de Sousa Mendes) que conseguiram convencer Salazar a aceitar o repatriamento de perto de 200 judeus que reivindicavam a nacionalidade portuguesa.

Finds from the archive: After a lovely presentation at Nordiska Historiker Mötet this summer on the importance of dining and food in a diplomatic setting I have found more and more sources talking about everything from the lack of a pastry cook to the order in which drinks were served! #histodons #EMdiplomacy #diplomatichistory #earlymodern

#introduction Dear Mastodon, as a previous avid user of Twitter I hope that I can find the same community and spirit amongst everyone here!

I am a #PhD at Lund University, Sweden, currently writing my thesis on the Swedish Diplomatic System during three turbulent periods of Swedish history.

Halfway my sabbatical semester - no teaching for the first time in 14 years. Managed so far to fracture my wrist, finish two articles and... *drumroll* just wrote the introduction of my new book. good times #fortheloveofsabbatical #diplomatichistory #histodons #diplodon #whynot
