Germany has passed on the expansion of its economic territory, which means that Germany can abdicate its responsibility as a policy-making country, but also restrain itself economically, thereby putting the situation of the working population at risk. Therefore "comrade" Calwer rightly says: "Commercial stagnation (halt) can not improving the condition of the workers."

These are discussed in the pages about specific battles, but that may not be the best place to examine the rationale behind them, or how they changed of the course of the war. The Topics section is our place to do that.
