War chest

A war chest , even war-chest , was from the ancient to modern times , the budget from which a warlord to pay for his soldiers paid off. Occasionally, funds granted by the government for waging war are still called that today.

There are legends about some of the war chests, for example about the cashier of Charles XI, which was captured at Loshult and then disappeared .

In the economy , both a reserve for legal disputes such as warnings and the provision for corporate takeovers are referred to as a war chest.
