Название: The First World War: An Agrarian Interpretation Автор: Avner Offer Издательство: Oxford University Press ISBN: 0198219466 Год: 1989 Формат: DJVU Страниц: 449 Размер: 7,4 МБ Язык: Английский
The first part of this book opens with a most informative examination of the British blockade of Imperial Germany–what it's real effectiveness was, its effect on the German population's health, mortality, and morale, and how it influenced the end of the war. Overall, in this book Offer presents a new interpretation of World War I, weaving together the economic and social history of the English-speaking world, the Pacific basin, and Germany, with the development of food production and consumption. In the special field of United States history, Offer shows the effect of American agricultural power on world politics, both before and after World War I. He describes how the social institutions of American agriculture undermined farming in Britain, and forced the British Empire to rely increasingly on overseas imports of food. Detailing the role of agrarian production and consumption in British and German defense, Offer examines the moral and legal implications of setting up whole societies as strategic targets.

On April 16, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln issued a blockade of the Confederate coastline. The largely agrarian South did not have the industrial base to succeed in a protracted conflict. What it did have—and what England and other foreign countries wanted—was cotton and tobacco. Industrious men soon began to connect the dots between Confederate and British needs. As the blockade grew, the blockade runners became quite ingenious in finding ways around the barriers.
