Krupp artillery exhibited in Lon
don failed to impress British army
leaders. It did impress French arti!
leryists. They caused an order for
300 guns to be placed with the Krupp
works. Krupp, who had had nothing
but encouragement from Prussia, was
thereupon joyously disposed to open
up factory in France, and make it
his base thenceforth.
Probably if he had filled the order
he would have taken this step It's
fulfillment was delayed by financial
difficulties which prevented France
from making an advance payment
During the delay, a French official
raised a question as to why France
should buy guns from a German.
There was political pickering, and
the order was cancelled.
Prussians, impressed by the size
of the order given Krupp by the
French, investigated his new guns
more thoroughly, and decided to try
them. In 1870, Krupp's crucible can
mons blasted a victory for Prussia,
the French having no artillery COM
parable to them.
France might have bought Krupp
cannon again before 1914 had it de-
sired it. For Krupp never let patrio-
tism interfere with profit-making; he
armed any country with money to
buy. During the Boxer Rebellion,
FOR example, Krupp guns bought by
Serbia, were turned against Germans
and their Austrian allies. Armor

ected Russian warships in attacks on
German men-ofwar. Many Ameri-
can, British and French battleships

Steel companies under Krupp license.
