CB -

...I never have understood the reasons for the First World War. It never made any sense to me....

What was the political and economic structure of Germany prior to the WWI? Was there an inherent political or economic problem that could not be solved without expansion? Or was it just a long European tradition that any lightly defended border was to be interpreted as an open door with a welcome mat?

Regards, Don

PS - See Benjamin Anderson, Economics and the Public Welfare, A Financial and Economic History of the United States, 1914-1946, page 27, for a couple of theories.
