Abstract

[The twentieth century has been one of almost continuous turmoil for the businesses of Great Britain. If we grant the first 13 years of the century to really belong to the “long nineteenth century,” the modern period can be said to have begun in 1914. Between 1914 and 1918, the nation suffered the loss of millions of lives in World War I. This was followed 10 years later by a deep and nearly universal economic depression that began in 1929 and lasted through most of the decade of the 1930s. Then, the nation became embroiled in an even more devastating global conflict, World War II, again with Germany the enemy. In this war, Japan and Italy were also Germany’s allies.]
