Imperialist Friends and Foes on the Road to a Great War
From: The Great Class War 1914-1918
$2.10
The imperialist rivalries heat up as a result of the rapidly increasing importance
of new raw materials such as rubber and oil. War becomes more and more likely
and ultimately inevitable. The German Empire urgently wants to acquire “a place
in the sun” via territorial expansion in Eastern Europe, increasing the risk of
confrontation with Russia and Great Britain. In the United States too, the elite
feels that war is a perfectly fine means to achieve imperialist objectives . . .
