Synopsis

The Economic Causes Of Modern War: A Study Of The Period, 1878-1918 is a book written by John Edwin Bakeless and published in 1921. The book is a detailed analysis of the economic factors that led to the outbreak of modern wars during the period from 1878 to 1918. Bakeless examines the economic conditions of the major powers of the time, including Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, and the United States, and explores how economic factors such as trade, industry, and finance impacted their foreign policies and ultimately led to the outbreak of war. The book also discusses the role of economic imperialism, the impact of economic competition on international relations, and the influence of economic factors on military strategy and tactics. Bakeless argues that economic motives played a significant role in the causes of modern wars, and that understanding these factors is crucial to preventing future conflicts. Overall, The Economic Causes Of Modern War is a comprehensive and insightful study of the complex economic factors that contributed to the outbreak of wars during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It remains a valuable resource for historians, economists, and anyone interested in understanding the roots of modern warfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume is an effort to trace the chain of economic causes which produce modem wars. It is an effort also to show that the same series of causes, at the same time that they bring about wars, are working (somewhat less effectively) towards increasing international solidarity. And finally, it is a very modest attempt to indicate, tentatively, the general lines on which the operation of these economic causes in the first direction may be limited and in the second forwarded. Originally it was a study only of the economic causes of war; but as the research progressed it speedily became apparent that there waa another side to the picture. By an ironic paradox the same forces were producing two effects: they were working toward war and peace at the same time. The rise of industrialism haa led to a struggle for markets and for food supplies and raw materials. These have led to international friction culminating in war, mainly through questions of colonial policy. But since industrialism and colonial expansion are impossible without a high degree of financial inter-relationship among riations, and since the interest of the financier is usually (but not by any means always) in the preservation of peace for the sake of his investments safety, the forces that generate wars also generate a force which tends to prevent them.
