There’s been some talk lately about US dependence on Taiwanese semiconductors or Chinese rare earth metals which could be interrupted if things go bad. An interesting question is to ask how many countries could fight a modern war in the face of total trade isolation.

I’ve never heard this stated explicitly, but in retrospect Germany’s desperate dash through Belgium must have been predicated on this resource constraint. By 1914 though the problem was gone, meaning they would been much better off playing nice and keeping Britain out of the war

Haber didnt actually industrialize the process until 1915. I believe the surrender date if he failed was in the fall that year, would have to check.

There was an explicit surrender date contingent on the immediate success of the Haber process? Woha. Where did you find this?
