What Profit Or Loss In War For Anybody
Dewitt Mackenzie argues on the cost and consequences of another European war. He cites World War I losses, both direct and indirect, totaling about 186 billion dollars in direct costs and similar indirect costs, with nearly 13 million dead. He speculates that a loss by Germany could undo Versailles terms and reshape borders and power, potentially restoring Czecho Slovakia, Austria, and forcing reductions in Germany’s armed forces.
