While these factors may explain the similarities between these small states, they fail to make clear why there were such great differences between them. The authors of this volume argue that the internal politics and the politico-military strategic cultures of the countries are vital keys to understanding their divergent reactions to similar, or at least comparable, foreign military threats: World War I and German expansionism in the second half of the 1930's. The contributors are Maartje Abbenhuis, Michael Clemmesen, Kjeld Galster, Tom Kristiansen, Paul Moeyes, Williamson Murray, Michael Olsansky, Christian Paulin, Matthias Strohn, Anne Tjepkema, and Joost Vaessen. 410 0$aHistory of warfare ;$vv. 65. 606 $aNeutrality$zEurope$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNeutrality, Armed$zEurope$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zEurope 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xInfluence 607 $aEurope$xHistory, Military$y20th century 607 $aNetherlands$xMilitary policy$y20th century 607 $aBelgium$xMilitary policy$y20th century 607 $aDenmark$xMilitary policy$y20th century 607 $aNorway$xMilitary policy$y20th century 607 $aSwitzerland$xMilitary policy$y20th century 615 0$aNeutrality$xHistory 615 0$aNeutrality, Armed$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xInfluence. 676 $a355/.033549 701 $aAmersfoort$b H$g(Hermanus),$f1951-$01651207 701 $aKlinkert$b W$01058615 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820236303321 996 $aSmall powers in the age of total war, 1900-1940$94046128 997 $aUNINA
