| Abstract
|
:
|
During and after World War One, Britain's blockade of Germany prevented foodstuffs from being exported to Germany, leading to outcries from German civic leaders and an outpouring of generosity from across the world. This study examines the detailed height and weight data of children in this period to show the measures of deprivation and recovery.
