The Anglo-German Commercial and Colonial Rivalry as a Cause of the Great War examines how competition over colonies, trade routes, and political influence helped propel Europe toward conflict.

This analysis argues that imperial rivalry, not just military tension, shaped the onset of the First World War.

This work surveys Pan-Germanism, the Weltpolitik, and key flashpoints like the Baghdad Railway, the Persia question, and colonial policy. It connects economic aims with diplomatic maneuvers to explain how two powers drifted toward war, while weighing competing claims about trade, empire, and national destiny.

How Pan-Germanism spread through policy, propaganda, and education.
What Weltpolitik meant for Germany’s global ambitions and its impact on diplomacy.
How the Baghdad Railway, Morocco, and other crises strained Britain and Germany’s relations.
How commercial rivalry intertwined with imperial strategy across continents.

Ideal for readers of modern history, international relations, and those seeking a focused look at the economic roots of global conflict. This edition is well suited for students and general readers interested in a clearer view of how trade and empire can shape war.
