Description:From Amazon.comReview"First-rate scholarship and methodology. This book adds substantially to our knowledge of the allied war effort during the First World War. It is exceptionally well-grounded and its documentary basis far exceeds any other book dealing with the related topics. Horn breaks new ground in the diversity of his sources and the detail with which he treats the topic This will be a welcome and useful addition to the field." Keith Neilson, Department of History, Royal Military College "This is a very fine, well-argued, and exceptionally well-grounded analysis of the financial aspects of the allied war effort... most useful addition to the scholarly literature."--The Economic History Review, August 2003Product DescriptionFighting the First World War consumed lives, material, and money. Millions died; more suffered. By the war's end, the political map of Europe had been redrawn as empires disappeared and new states arose. In "Britain, France, and the Financing of the First World War", Martin Horn traces the financial contours of the war, which crippled France financially, leaving Britain, itself weakened, to contest international financial leadership with the United States, the principal beneficiary of the war. Horn shows that victory followed not only from the ability to arm and feed mass armies but also from the capacity to raise money.Fighting the war imposed new demands on the belligerents, extending the power of the state and forcing cooperation among allies. Given their long tradition of hostility, adapting to these new realities was a wrenching process for Britain and France. Britain financed the war not only to win but also to preserve its prewar financial dominance; France financed it to survive and to ensure that the stability of the Third Republic was not threatened.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
