Tariffs, Trade Wars, and the Road to Global Conflict: Are We Heading Toward Another World War?

In this episode, I dive deep into the history of tariffs and trade wars, exploring how the Tariff of 1922 and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930 contributed to the Great Depression and ultimately played a role in the escalation of World War II. I discuss how countries retaliating against U.S. tariffs in the 1930s led to economic instability, while Germany used the opportunity to rearm, eventually contributing to one of the deadliest conflicts in history.

But could Trump's tariffs be following the same dangerous path? Are we witnessing the beginnings of a new trade war that could escalate tensions on the global stage? In this video, I analyze the economic consequences of tariffs, the risks of a trade war, and whether modern diplomacy can prevent history from repeating itself.

Join me as I explore the impact of tariffs on global relations, economic history, and ask the question: Could tariffs lead us to another world war?
