Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the root causes of the First World War and argues that the conict was the result of economic imperialism. The author traces the development of imperialism from its beginnings in the late 19th century to its culmination in the outbreak of war in 1914. He shows how the major European powers, driven by the need to secure access to raw materials and markets, embarked on a scramble for colonies and spheres of inuence. This competition for empire led to a series of diplomatic crises and ultimately to war. The author argues that imperialism was a major factor in the outbreak of the war because it created a system of rival alliances that made it impossible for any one power to back down from a conict without risking war. He also shows how imperialism led to the militarization of Europe and the creation of a climate of fear and suspicion that made war more likely. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the causes of the First World War and offers a fresh perspective on one of the most important events in modern history.
