Pre-Owned Armaments and the Coming of War : Europe, 1904-1914 (Hardcover) 9780198202080

The global impact of the First World War dominated the history of the first half of the twentieth century. This major reassessment of the origins of the war is the first full analysis of the politics of armaments in pre-1914 Europe. Based on extended original research in several countries, the book contains many new insights on the interconnections between armaments and politics. David Stevenson offers a fresh conceptual framework for those studying the origins ofthe First World War, and provides a thought-provoking case-study of the broader relationships between armaments and international conflict.
