@@Joebinlaggin513 There was no Kingdom of France in 1853 or 1870, youre ignorant.
It was the Second Empire held by Napoleon III, a totally different thing.
@@bunkerkorpf1440 French empire would be more correct since Napoleon III was an emperor, not a king. Napoleon III choose the title of emperor over king because "King" (or "Roi" in French) has been a very unpopular title ever since the French Revolution, but otherwise was a bog-standard monarchy of the time.
Simply leaving the country as France (outside of the Vichy regime) would have avoided this and would technically been correct, too.
These dynamic graphs are much more useful when you note major events within the video. For example starting in 1859 the US undergoes a meteoric rise then plumets after 1866. It's due to the Civil War of course, but many of the dramatic changes aren't so obvious - at least to me.

Russia was pretty much the richest and that doesn't say much after WW1, civil wars and ww2. It was impressive what they did with a poor ruin.
Again, North Korea has worse conditions for their people than most Soviet union and it didn't collapse out of economic pressure. And they won't. They need military coup or outside intervention to collapse. They don't have to deal with so much diversity.
If USA swapped places geographically, they wouldn't be a superpower. USA had huge economic issues, and it didn't collapse. USA had way less diversity than Soviet union.

A category NATO or Warsaw Pact would also reflect the historical events of the time more accurately. The same applies to the more than 50 states of the Ukaine Contact Group.

I'm curious. Even the Qing Dynasty itself didn't know how much its military expenditure was. Where did you hear that? Did the emperor tell you this personally when you traveled back in time to 1830?
While I do not know the exact answer for Qing Dynasty case, but most of "spending" cases in history were taken from the book records from trading guilds. They always have a very good record about what when and how much was sold. And they've been keeping their ledgers for centuries. Similarly, some of the spending can be calculated from the known proportions. Like you've got a record from smith's guild about number of armor suits ordered. You can use this record and a knowledge about typical soldier's gear to estimate the rest of the spendings.
@@tarmnv Maybe you know about the guilds, but you definitely don’t know about the Qing Dynasty

if you see the pattern most budgets spiked before empire fall!
Well the industries that make military supplies can be pretty advanced and cannot be scaled quickly, so the days of sudden military spending seem to be over, now you need a standing military big enough to support advanced industry. And rely on stock piles of weapons.
СССР после разрушительной войны на его территории; догнал США, которые на войне заработали большие деньги, получили огромное количество талантливых учёных со всего мира и стали огромнейшей силой. Уважение Сталину и всем кто участвовал в восстановлении огромной страны-победительницы.
Только вот обычный народ в ссср изза больших расходов на армию жил хцже
@@Zornyiага, настолько хуже что пробабушка хочет вернуться во времена 60 годов(вплоть до 85) до сих пор у них москвич стоит подаренный государством в отличии от пендосии где бедность достигает огромных цифр. В москве такого нет сколько в нью йорке или вашингтоне. Не было. Капиталистам этого не понять, вы только о деньгах думаете. А щас стране победительнице памятники сносят, и строят музеи о том какой сталин был тиран как в Польше, или же нарния, кхм украина, где герб ссср снесли со статуи и поставили бандеровский трезубец. Справедливость. Ага. Траты им млять.
@@Zornyi, и как он страдал? Приведи факты.

Советские люди помнили, что сделали европейцы в СССР, поэтому вкладывались в оборону.
Мы сегодня видим, западный гражданин после начала спец операции уже знал, кто враг, а многие Россиянине до сих пор живут в илюзиях.
I had no idea Poland and West Germany had a higher military spending than Britain during the second half of the 20th century
How did you convert USSR spending into dollars?
Сколько денег впустую выброшено.
Сразу понятно какая страна самая миролюбивая и демократичная😂

Russia and France historically spend a lot on military.
Thanks Einstein
For a country that "doesn't have army", Japan sure do spend a lot.
What Japan never claimed they don’t have an army. In fact in 2022 Japan stated they are remilitarizing the nation and seeking more U.S technology and aircraft.
@@masterchief2402 Japan did claim they dont have army and they only had a defensive force until they decided to change in 2022.
@@ernestogastelum9123 yeah because under the treaty they signed they were allowed to have a defence force only after ww2
Technically, they didn't claim anything. Their Constitution did so. And their Constitution is a US forced Constitution for obvious reasons.
@@masterchief2402 SO THEY DID CLAIM THEY DONT HAVE AN ARMY

Угарнул с русско-японской войны, когда японцы быстро нарастили военный бюджет и так же быстро сократили после победы)) интересный народ японцы
Если почитать как японцы пополняли этот бюджет, то жуть берет. Обычные японцы в порыве патриотизма продавали всю нормальную одежду(сами же после этого ходили в дешевых бумажных кимоно для покойников), своих жен и дочерей закладывали в бордели а вырученные с этого средства отдавали на нужды фронта.
