Synopsis

How France framed imports during World War I and at what cost to daily life

This book surveys the wartime shift in France’s trade policy, showing how imports, production, and national resources were redirected to win the war. It explains the move toward general import prohibition in 1917 and how exceptions were structured to balance need with available credits and payments. The narrative details the decision process, the roles of government departments, and the practical steps used to regulate what could enter the country.

• How the decree of March 22, 1917, created a three-category system for imports—indispensable, limited, and unnecessary.
• How a specialized committee and sub-committees assessed war needs, production capacity, and foreign payments.
• How limits were set and then allocated across industries and importers to keep essential goods flowing.
• How private purchases were integrated with government orders and the use of consortiums to manage supply.

Ideal for readers of economic history, wartime policy, and the practical challenges of sustaining a nation at war.
