Watch a thought-provoking lecture from Godfrey Bloom, a distinguished libertarian author and former European Parliament member, as he explores alternative historical scenarios that could have prevented Britain's involvement in World War I. Drawing from his extensive military background as a graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and his experience as a logistics liaison officer, Bloom combines insights from military strategy, economics, and political history. Learn from his unique perspective shaped by his roles as an investment manager, his service on the EU Parliament Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, and his academic contributions to prestigious institutions like the Royal College of Defence Studies and National Defence University Washington. Benefit from the analysis of a decorated military veteran who holds the Territorial Decoration and bar, Sovereign's Medal, Armed Forces Parliamentary Medal, and European Parliamentary silver medal as he examines this pivotal moment in British history through the lens of both military strategy and Austrian School Economics.
