Note: in places the figures are slanted. The figures for the Axis powers does not include Italy and shipping figures for the USSR are not known - hence their impact on the total Allied shipping figure.

How many millions of munitions did the United Kingdom produce in 1917?

For a time during the course of WW 1, Great Britain was almost defeated by Germany. Part of the blame of bad years for Britain might lie in the UK's production or arms. As it turned out, the industrial base of the UK was not being utilized. Here is an example; in 1917, Great Britain produced 79, million tons of weapons. The following year, it almost doubled the output of 1917. In 1918 Great Britain produced 120,900 million tons. If in earlier years, there was a problem producing arms, it was greatly corrected in the final year of the war.
