Abstract

The world wars were the most destructive conflicts in human history, both in terms of the economic cost and the human misery they inflicted. This chapter discusses the origins, impact, and outcomes of these conflicts and why they did not occur before or after the twentieth century. Issues discussed broadly relate to defence economics and include economic warfare, mobilisation, demobilisation, resources, and military spending.
