Verzorgenden en verpleegkundigen lopen al meer dan honderd jaar voorop in infectiepreventie. Dat was recent nog te zien bij de bestrijding van covid19. Vanaf rond 1900 tot in de jaren vijftig speelden ze een cruciale rol in het opsporen, voorkomen en bestrijden van ‘volksvijand nummer 1’: tuberculose.

De vestiging van grote groepen niet-westerse immigranten in Nederland is de aanleiding geweest voor het ontwikkeken van een minderheden- en later een immigratiebeleid. Dit overheidsbeleid voor gevestigde immigranten en hun nakomelingen kwam aan het eind van de jaren zeventig op gang. De vakministers dienden onder toezicht van het toenmalig coördinerend ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken een passend immigratiebeleid te ontwikkelen.
After the unconditional surrender of the Third Reich in May 1945, Germany no longer existed as a sovereign, independent nation. It was occupied by the four Allied powers: France, Great Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. When it came to the postwar European recovery, the biggest obstacle was that the economy in Germany, the dominant continental economic power before the Second World War, was at an almost complete standstill. This not only had severe consequences for Germany itself, but also had strong economic repercussions for surrounding countries, especially the Netherlands. As Germany had been the former’s most important trading partner since the middle of the nineteenth century, it was clear that the Netherlands would be unable to recover economically without a healthy Germany. However, Allied policy, especially that of the British and the Americans, made this impossible for years. This article therefore focuses on the early postwar Dutch-German trade relations and the consequences of Allied policy. While much has been written about the occupation of Germany, far less attention has been paid to the results of this policy on neighbouring countries. Moreover, the main claim of this article is that it was not Marshall Aid which was responsible for the quick and remarkable Dutch economic growth as of 1949, but the opening of the German market for Dutch exports that same year. https://doi.org/10.1515/jbwg-2018-0009 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martijn-lak-71793013/
