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

the brits industrially stalled halfway through the industrial revolution

stupid communsts

the usa and germany kept going

then germany got fucked to hell during wwi

Slavery was banned in the empire at that time

Not hard enough clearly

Since they came back for a round two

yeah, precisely cookies

the empire should have been broken up into german states

slaves were forced to work a job with no pay. THEN slavery ended and the slaves started to get paid for the same jobs

GDP skyrockets

Germany can stay it just has to be anglicised, the Germens in America nowdays aren't a problem
