The Nazis stopped Jewish doctors from practising, so thousands of them left the country (my great grandfather was one of them). So many left that this was a good natural experiment for estimating the causal effect of losing doctors on infant mortality (& thousands died)

A couple of years ago, I wrote an article for the International History Review on Japan's involvement in the repatriation of Ottoman POWs from Siberia in 1921 with support from the League of Nations: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...
It took a while, and we ended up with a 19th-century style title, but our jolly roundtable article on the global impact of the Imperial Japanese parliament is out at last in the International History Review 😁

Dreams and Nightmares: Imagining the Aftermath of War, 1815–1945* T hinking about and planning for the end of war generally begins as soon as fighting breaks out, if not long before. Yet few studies analyse how participants considered and prepared for the outcome of war amid ongoing violence, compared with the wealth of those that document the long-term impacts of war.1 Even fewer compare the dynamics of wartime projections in different times and places. Scholarship on the aftermath of war tends to spotlight the personal or political ramifications of a single conflict, focusing, for instance, on enduring trauma, the redrawing of boundaries or the often-troubled transition from wartime to peacetime society.2
This is an amazing paper:
