Aufstieg Und Fall Der Großen Mächte. by Paul Kennedy
Economic Change and Military Conflict from 1500 to 2000
A sweeping historical analysis arguing that the rise and fall of great powers from 1500 onward results from the interaction of economic strength and military commitments: when states overextend their forces and burdens outstrip their productive base they enter relative decline. Using case studies from early modern Europe to the twentieth century, the book traces cycles of expansion and retrenchment and warns that strategic overstretch can undo even dominant nations.
