Oil and the Great Powers

Britain and Germany, 1914 to 1945

Beschreibung

Oil and the Great Powers examines how oil shaped British and German grand strategy in the era of the two world wars, arguing that Britain and Germany's efforts to become energy-independent led them to pursue policies that compromised security by inducing strategic over-extension, thereby hastening their decline as great powers.
