This new book focuses on three key areas and lessons of Allied disarmament operations from 1920-31: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe role and experience of international arms inspectors working amidst an embittered German populace \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe ramifications of the divergent disarmament priorities of the leaders of the disarmament coalition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe effectiveness of united Allied policies backed by sanctions. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese major issues are examined within the overall context of the assessment of Allied disarmament operations in Germany. While some historians perceive German disarmament as a failure, this book argues that arms inspectors successfully destroyed Germany’s ability to pose a military threat to European security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new study shows how the destructive legacy of war convinced the victorious nations, especially Britain and France, of the importance in minimizing German military strength. French post-war security concerns, however, were often faced with the unwillingness of Britain to enforce the totality of the military articles of the treaty. German obstruction also influenced Allied disarmament policies. \u003cem\u003eGerman Disarmament After World War I \u003c\/em\u003eexamines the initial effectiveness of Allied disarmament efforts in Germany and explains how they ultimately disappeared through diverging conceptions of a post-war world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to all students of disarmament, the interwar period and of military history, modern European history and security studies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254896644440,"sku":"9780415358088","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415358088.jpg?v=1770150628","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/german-disarmament-after-world-war-i","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
