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.
