[edit] Economic warfare is a tool of national foreign policy

Economic warfare was especially evident in the early 1970's when the US President moved the world's currencies off the version of the gold standard agreed at Bretton Woods, at the end of WW2. Essentially this was because the system was too strict for the US, who had printed vastly more dollars than were supported by its holdings of gold. The change opened the door to economic warfare around the world, eg numerous attacks by banks on national treasuries. The huge losses on Black Wednesday in the UK were just one consequence.

[edit] Stalingrad

Isn't that more of a siege situation? --Secruss (talk) 02:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
