Page two of Volume 3 of the Little Review features a full page ad for a book By Louis B. Boudin named: “Socialism and War.” According to the ad, this book features ideas about Socialism and Imperialism. World War I, otherwise known as the “Great War” in this ad was a consequence of Imperialism. “Socialism collapsed” says Boudin, but he also claims that socialist thought is what eventually caused Imperialism to arise in Europe. Socialist thoughts began as countries wanted to trade and distribute goods to other countries. However Imperialism was eventually introduced as countries wanted more control over goods and attempted to take over other countries. The secret society that assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand wanted to break off Austria-Hungary’s control of the South Slav provinces which later sparked the beginning of World War I. | Page two of Volume 3 of the Little Review features a full page ad for a book By Louis B.
