The Economic Causes Of Modern War: A Study Of The Period, 1878-1918 (1921) - Hardcover

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.
