Armaments and Arbitration: Or The Place of Force in the International Relations of States is a book written by Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1912. Mahan was a renowned American naval officer and historian who had a significant influence on the development of naval strategy and the concept of sea power.In this book, Mahan examines the role of force in international relations and the impact of armaments on the balance of power between nations. He argues that while war is sometimes necessary, it should always be a last resort, and that the use of force should be tempered by the principles of justice and morality.Mahan also explores the concept of arbitration as an alternative to war, and the potential for international law and diplomacy to prevent conflicts from escalating into full-blown wars. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong military and naval presence as a deterrent to aggression, but also acknowledges the need for disarmament and the reduction of military expenditures.Overall, Armaments and Arbitration provides a thoughtful and nuanced analysis of the complex issues surrounding international relations and the use of force in the early 20th century. It remains a valuable resource for scholars of history, political science, and international relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
