Synopsis

The Economic Causes Of Modern War: A Study Of The Period, 1878-1918 (1921) by John Edwin Bakeless is a historical analysis of the economic factors that contributed to the outbreak of war during the period between 1878 and 1918. The book explores the complex interplay between economic interests, political tensions, and military strategies that led to the devastating conflicts of this era, including World War I. Bakeless argues that economic competition and the pursuit of national self-interest were key drivers of conflict, as countries sought to secure resources, markets, and strategic advantages in a rapidly changing global economy. He also examines the role of imperialism, nationalism, and military-industrial complexes in shaping the political and economic landscape of the time. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including government documents, economic data, and contemporary accounts, Bakeless provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the economic causes of modern war. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of international relations, economics, and military strategy.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.
