Angell argues that modern war between industrial nations is economically futile because conquest brings no real gain. He contends that international economic interdependence makes armed conflict irrational and self-defeating. The book became a bestseller, spawning study groups and influencing military leaders. Yet World War I erupted just years later, leading many to dismiss Angell's ideas—though scholars later recognized the work as foundational to understanding international relations.
