which very much annihilated their forces

and hell, the war was raging for 2+ yrs before america even STARTED getting involved

and thats only after constant victories in casablanca and elsewhere

the war didnt get difficult for the english until the japanese attacked

?

which was when america got involved anyway

ah, Dunkirk and the Blitz wasn't difficult?

battle of singapore was after american involvement

for their empire

not their homeland

the time their colonies were threatened

dunkirk was just english incompetence

351,526 million USD (1990) GDP for British Empire
211,678 million USD (1990) GDP for USA
205,309 million USD (1990) GDP for China
126,172 million USD (1990) GDP for the German Empire

(USD 1990 Int$ equivalent)

In 1890

and who won WWII?

You were categorically wrong

Not the Allies

The Soviets

Luci is a contrarian ask ma and storin

considering how strong japan was yes the allies did indeed win ww2

You know what

woah, what 'german empire' existed in 1990?

Cope

i don't remember an empire back in those days

@ManAnimal lune said adjusted to 1990 money

-_-

Communism has had the best go at taking over the world if you look at the world map

AH.

In 1890 the British Empire had a GDP greater than the USA, the German Empire and the Ottoman Empire

the ottomans dont count

they were a third world nation

They were

But it still puts context to it

Most of south America, Africa, Asia and massive swathes of Europe and now the west is filled with them too

Since this was the lead up to WW1

Slave labor helps increase GDP

Brits had the right idea

By the time of WW2 the US economy accounted for half of the worlds economy or something ludicrous like that

the brits were nominally anti slavery

There's only one way to settle this....we all fire up HOI4

well, apples and oranges. 1/2 the world HAD no 'economy' as it was planned
