france was also in heavy debt from losing a world war

true; in fact that's one reason WWII lasted as long as it did. instead of calling all her forces back to Britian to push back the germans, they instead tried holding their empire

france was a very slow adopter of industrialization though

britain did jack shit to hold their empire

i dunno what youre talking about

within the first hours of the war

the entire british force in the pacific theater got crushed

<:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

the british did jack shit in africa

save north africa

where they suffered a constant string of losses retreating back to egypt

they didn't return home either

where they finally won something

they couldnt return home

their entire navy got ganked

they spread their forces too thin

their entire army got ganked

351, 527 million (1990) USD GDP for the British empire in 1890, 126,172 million (1990) USD GDP

and got their asses kicked everwhere

the only thing they had left were shitty colonial troops in india

For Germany

rather than call everyone home

unlike the americans

the english army sucked dick

The UK in 1890 had an economy twice that of Germany

america held the philippines for many months

It beat Germany and the US combined

despite the brunt of japanese military attention

well the american marines got their asses handed to them in africa

the british surrendered a far better armed force

in days

fucking days

and virtually anywhere they went during the early part of the war

americans suffered a defeat in north africa

but that didnt annihlate their forces

unlike the defeat the british got in singapore

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
