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

@Telly_G 『⚡130』PC | sounds like a black supremacist to me

<: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
