Abstract:
The First World War ended Great Britain's nineteenth-century world economic supremacy, which had been steadily eroded in the decades before 1914. Within Britain, the war also changed the way in which individuals carried on business, the attitudes of the business community toward government, the government's own policies toward trade and traders, and public opinion on these matters, as reflected in the press. Although it is far too simplistic to claim that the war spelled the end of laissez-faire in Britain, state control of the economy did increase in a country whose economic culture was based

Abstract:
The article examines the factor of oil, when some influential politicians and big businessmen, primarily in Great Britain, tried to use for their far-reaching goals the factual absence of the Weimar Republic's own oil fields. Monopolization of oil supplies in the context of the implementation of the “legal mechanism for ‘pushing’ Germany to the East” made it possible to a certain extent to manage the foreign policy activity of the Hitlerite regime.

Abstract:
If we trace masterpieces by Rossetti "from Dante", we can observe that the most part remains in British or North American collections, although we had in mind that museums of the whole world would have got such emblematic items. Why? Dante was definitely popular in Great-Britain, so that it was quite easy for Rossetti to negotiate his works, and no doubt that the emerging speculative collecting for businessmen did limit sales to a short panel of wealthy rivals who took advantage of museums' hesitations about Pre-Raphaelitism — as well as foreign critics focused on Rossetti a bit too late, when

Abstract:
AbstractWorld War I reshaped the international economy. This was, in part, the consequence of British mobilization of resources for its own war effort, which aligned producer interests around the world with those of the United Kingdom. But it was also a consequence of Western policy aimed at excluding German businessmen from global markets. German planners noted during World War I that Great Britain, in particular, was expressing an interest in continuing such exclusion after the war, with potentially enormous economic consequences for Germany.

Though Mr Gladstone was speaking of the opposition to home rule in the country, rather than in the parliamentary Liberal party alone in the statement quoted above, this has become the rather standard interpretation of the great separation in the Liberal party in 1886. As one modern historian of the Liberal disruption puts it, ‘a striking characteristic of modern British history has been the class alignment of political parties… The Liberal Unionist party (those who seceded on the home rule question) was a half-way house, which entertained for a time much of the wealth and territorial influence

Unique individuals are fascinating as we all want to be successful. There is thus a need to understand, unpack and share the psychological development and traits that allow some people to become sui generis, and to learn from them. Psychobiographical research is a qualitative approach that can be utilised to uncover the story of such an individual life, resulting in greater understanding of the psychological concepts underpinning the person.

The chapter also highlights that Great Britain is an island nation vulnerable to rising sea levels as climate change undermines an already low, and falling, self-sufficiency in food.

Abstract The success of the Seven Years War bred a certain complacency about Britain’s place in the world. It was temporarily shattered by the American War and replaced by a cautious optimism about a future which was not meant to include imperial ambitions. War in general was an inescapable experience for Englishmen born after 1720, but for most of them it was acquired at second hand or viewed more as theatre than reality. There was some sentimental dismay at the horrors of armed conflict, rarely developing into authentic pacifism. War had important economic consequences, though it is difficul
