china was a worthless shithole

by that time

the ships they used were wind powered wooden ships

their armies were incompetently led and didnt use guns properly

I mean ultimately the English did a lot and you can chat shit all you want but they still held the worlds largest empire

conquering third world nations with industrial technology doesnt indicate greatness

NO NO AM NOT HATEFUL U DA RAYCIS, **JEW**

they did

for a very brief period of time

It’s kinda hard to say it wasn’t impressive to some extent

and they didnt use it to become powerful

wwi germany was more powerful than the british empire at its most powerful

can you believe that?

wwi germany was relatively tiny and yet it was more powerful

nice Cookies. "..can chat shit..." I appreaciate the distinction

The British empire was never a massive military power

well their navy

@Lucienne d'Anwyl type ww1 you fuckin autistic cunt

Economic power on the other hand

Omg

germany exceeded englands economic power

Is it that fucking hard?

america did as well

by wwi

If you look at the GDP of countries in the 1800s

And late 1700s

The UK was solidly number 1

late 1700s england still owned the us

so it doesnt count

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
