USSR: Okay, I'm going away, you can cut military spending.
USA: _no_

[SC-lcwg]

*Everyone gangsta until Germany suddenly increase thier military spending*

[timepiece_enthusiast]

Poland immediately after WW2: Nope, not gonna let that happen again!

[christophermccoy]

As a Canadian, seeing Canada up there is a trip.
I mean I know our position in ww2, but its such a contrast to the 4 tanks we have now.

[mateuskievel]

I like how Germany always appears with different "clothes" from time to time

[Mike-ijrq]

USA at the beginning of a world war: *I’m too weak*
USA at the end of a world war: *UNLIMITED SPENDING*

[DarkMatterX]

The casual effortlessness of the US rocketing straight to the top any time it needs to is a sight to see.

As a Hungarian It's crazy to see how fast other countries recovered, we fallen apart in 1918 and still kinda falling.

Nazi Germany: has 9 times the budget of France
France: the Maginot Line will hold....

[sab_mein_expert]

"Sir our estimation says we need 10 of these weapons"
USA: Hmm ye but give me 100

[labonnesociete]

Wow! Fantastic animated graphics. I think I should invest in military conglomerates ;-)

[Teelie_]

the fact that in the middle of ww2 the peak spending was around 5 bil says a lot about how large the world economy has grown, most of europe was sitting at over 15 in the 1990s

[mr.h]

The US has a unique ability to inflate the defense budget to any number it feels like during wars

[krios]

You know there is a world war when germany is on top

[MagisterVeritas]

Everyone's getting a bit nervouse when Germany's like 'I'll have a go at it'

[idiotVRofficial]

I had imagined these numbers to go bonkers during ww1 lol. Did not disappoint, especially after the Lusitania event 💀

[anzerepse]

The fact how fast Germany restored its military and economy from ww1 to ww2 is just incredible

[tobias]

You can't say anything but Germany's recovery abilities are legendary

I’m interested in seeing an updated version of this all the way to 2023
