OPVL - WWI Graphs

O: The graphs come from a secondary source from Britain
P: The graphs are intended to mathematically chart the included terms prior to WWI

V/L: The graphs serve as a valuable resource primarily because they offer numerical proof as to the might of countries in certain areas, many of which are shown in ratio to one another. The major limitation however is that it is impossible to know whether or not any of the information is accurate. The numbers given would easily have been subject to alteration by the government at hand. The numbers have little to no given context and as such, are not very helpful in deducing the impact industrialization has on the outbreak of war.

  1. Always include the date sources are published, this is important because the historical context something is published in matters!!!

    There is also info AFTER WWI

    Good limits, you might argue that since this is published in a book, in Britain, by a historian, it is presumed to be accurate; but I agree we can't be sure since we have no info on this guy Kennedy.
