What reading level is The War in Europe, Its Causes And Results book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Instead of making this immediately effective by keeping the "class of 1910," which had already served two years, the government called up in the same year the class that had reached the age of 20, and also the class that was 21 years old, thus increasing the army under the colors by something less than one-third. These preparations made the Germans think war was approaching. The air was full of a military spirit.
COMMERCIAL RIVALRIES From the days of the Carthaginians and the Punic Wars down to... the present time a fruitful cause of war is the desire of nations to secure a trade and the profits thereof. In the old days, when the seas were beset by pirates, no permanent trade was possible that was not protected by a military or naval force ; and when so protected it became a monopoly. Our modern conditions are different; civilized powers unite to clear the seas of pirates and the general tendency is to open the ports of every nation to the vessels of every na- tion. The two principal restrictions are protec- tive tariffs, which aim to prevent international trade, and the rigid colonial system which keeps colonial ports closed except to vessels of the em- pire to which they belong.
