An "incredibly timely" global history journeys from the Ukrainian steppe to the American prairie to show how grain built and toppled the world's largest empires (Financial Times). To understand the rise and fall of empires, we must follow the paths traveled by grain—along rivers, between ports, and across seas. In Oceans of Grain, historian Scott Reynolds Nelson reveals how the struggle to dominate these routes transformed the balance of world power. Early in the nineteenth century, imperial Russia fed much of Europe through the booming port of Odessa, on the Black Sea in Ukraine. But following the US Civil War, tons of American wheat began to flood across the Atlantic, and food prices plummeted. This cheap foreign grain spurred the rise of Germany and Italy, the decline of the Habsburgs and the Ottomans, and the European scramble for empire. It was a crucial factor in the outbreak of the First World War and the Russian Revolution. A powerful new interpretation, Oceans of Grain shows that amid the great powers’ rivalries, there was no greater power than control of grain.

Excerpt from Flour and Wheat Trade in European Countries and the Levant: Transmitted to Congress in Compliance With the Act of May 22, 1908, Authorizing Investigations of Trade Conditions Abroad The quality of this home wheat production is not all that might be desired for best results. However, such advantages as the British miller has he is now making the utmost of by his continuous system of advertising and pushing methods for placing his goods with buyers, whereas a few years ago the Situation was exactly reversed, when the American miller was the pushing, active factor in the trade. I hear it often stated that the British miller has at last awakened to his possibilities; he is. Certainly making the best of them just now. While this subject will be discussed later, it is essential now that American mills be advised as to the apparent effect of less active work on their part and urged to bring the natural remedy into the case as soon as possible by concerted or individual effort.
