Though largely overlooked, economic motives have driven some of history's most important events. Take World War I, for example. One reason Germany was eager to fight the United States was the fact that the US planned on selling military goods and products to both sides of the conflict. However, as time moved on, the Americans slowly started selling exclusively to the French and British, a fact that did not go unnoticed by Kaiser Wilhelm himself. Perhaps this led to the sinking of the Lusitania, perhaps even the writing of the infamous Zimmermann Note.
Economics are important. People's decisions they make with money can ultimately determine the relationships they have with one another. In my courses, students will understand how monetary issues can lead to more complex, complicated events.
