This business history analyzes the connections between private business, disarmament, and re-armament as they affected arms procurement and military technology transfers in Eastern Europe from 1919 to 1939. Rather than focusing on the negotiations or the political problems involved with the Disarmament Conferences, this study concerns itself with the business effects of the disarmament discussions. Accordingly, Schneider-Creusot, Škoda, Vickers, and their respective business activities in Eastern European markets serve as the chief subjects for this book, and the core primary sources relied upon include their unpublished corporate archival documents. Shifting the scope of analysis to consider the business dimension allows for a fresh appraisal of the linkages between the arms trade, disarmament, and re-armament. The business approach also explodes the myth of the 'merchants of death' from the inside. It concludes by tracing the armaments business between 1939 and 1941 as it transitioned from peacetime to war.

HOW TO PREVENT A GLOBAL DEPRESSIONDEFEAT GLOBAL WARMINGACHIEVE GLOBAL DISARMAMENTAND LIVE IN GLOBAL PEACEGLOBAL DEPRESSION will be triggered if and when our government defaults on its mountain of debts and essentially declares bankruptcy. This is predicted by many of our best economists to happen sometime starting in 2013 or shortly thereafterGLOBAL WARMING is presently melting our ice caps and mountain glaciers, slowly raising the levels of our oceans until they potentially flood the low-lying areas of our global civilization, where about 50% of our global population lives within about 50 miles of our coast lines. This is predicted by our best environmental scientists to happen by about the end of the century with about 3-10 feet of water, so it requires action now to prevent it because it is already set in place to happen.GLOBAL ARMAMENTS now drain perhaps $1.75 trillion a year on wars of one kind or another, with no end in sight. If we continue to spend our scarce resources on killing each other rather than preventing global depressions and defeating global warming, we will be hopelessly unable to create peace on our planet, and therefore we may allow the destruction of our global civilization at the hands of global warming.GLOBAL PEACE is possible if we will follow the pathway spelled out in this book.

Richard Fanning examines the efforts of American, British, and Japanese leaders - political, military, and social - to reach agreement on naval limitation between 1922 and the mid-1930s, with focus on the years 1927-30, when political leaders, statesmen, naval officers, and various civilian pressure groups were especially active in considering naval limits. The civilian and even some military actors believed the Great War had been an aberration and that international stability would reign in the near future. But the coming of the Great Depression brought a dramatic drop in concern for disarmament.
