What form should Europe take? Should it be based on 'nation states'
or 'states of nations'? On what basis should European unification
proceed? Should it be an elite undertaking pioneered by statesmen
elected to democratic government offices, or should true
unification also demand a significant European cultural forum open
to spokesmen and -women representing the continent's nationality
groups? Was the League of Nations really such a thing? Or was it a
League of States? All these questions were posed by Ewald Ammende
and his fellow minority associates during the 1920s. Coming to
terms with the consequences of collapsed empires and at least four
years of conflict, they were forced to consider how best to
re-build their continent as if it were a tabula rasa. In the
process, they provided intelligent, perceptive analyses of the
national and international affairs of the day, particularly as they
affected Central and Eastern Europe. Their voices, reflecting their
status as national minorities and a geographical location beyond
the borders of the post-war Great Powers, deserve to be written
more thoroughly into the history of the interwar years. Their ideas
still provide food for thought even today.
