The World War changed not only political but also economic relations among the belligerent powers and between these powers and neutrals. The foreign trade between Austria-Hungary and the United States of America was strongly influenced by the British naval policy. Despite the breakdown in the foreign trade relations in 1915, some economic contacts between Austria-Hungary and the Unites States remained. The most important economic topic between the two countries was the question of Austro-Hungarian ships which anchored in US harbours. The author analyzes the complicated process of their sale to US buyers. The relevant negotiations started in 1915 and lasted until mid 1918.
