About This Book

The author analyzes the war as rooted in commercial and financial rivalries, arguing that protective tariffs and commercial treaties helped provoke conflict. He reviews mobilization, military strategy and battlefield developments, and surveys how different national temperaments and institutions shaped wartime conduct. Attention is given to imperial aims, contested transport and resource projects such as the Bagdad railroad and Middle Eastern oil prospects, and the diplomatic contest over Ottoman territories. The work also examines British imperial mobilization, French military response, German aspirations, and the economic repercussions for the United States and global finance.
