Oil and Grand Strategy: Great Britain and Germany, 1918–1941

Thu., Dec. 6, 2012 | 12:15pm - 2:00pm

Littauer Building - Belfer Center Library, Room 369

This seminar considers how oil shaped grand strategy in Great Britain and Germany between 1918 and 1941. The history of oil in the twentieth century is a chapter in the story of European decline, for the emergence of oil accelerated the decline of Britain and Germany as great powers capable of independently exerting their economic and military power.
