Der Weltkrieg, II. Band / Vom Kriegsausbruch bis zum uneingeschränkten U-Bootkrieg

A chronological analysis of the conflict from outbreak through the turn to unrestricted submarine warfare, combining military narrative with detailed economic and administrative study. It surveys major campaigns and diplomatic maneuvers, examines war finance, taxation, and loan policy, and traces industrial mobilization, raw‑material management, labor regulation, transport and food supply measures. Chapters address wartime legislation, munitions and coal crises, centralization of trade and procurement, and how naval strategy and diplomatic efforts interacted to shape political decisions.
