I think New Zealand popping up for that little bit of time is amazing and definitely deserves an honourable mention

[philippan]

Drew the war of 1877-1878 was between the Russians, Bulgarians (rebels) and ottomans. And the picture you showed was the Bulgarian rebels and not the Russians

I love how he calls Nationalist China when they show up in 1932 "Democratic China" completely forgetting it never claimed and was never even close to a democracy lol

[luanfonseca]

brazil popping up constantly and czechslovakia staying there pretty much from early to almost mid cold war was fun to watch.

[splinte]

it's crazy that the US alone outspends the 9 other biggest spenders combined by about $31b.

[RankingCharts]

Thank you for this insightful video, Drew!

[tedhaines]

Drew is the only person that would make a whole video on this. Great Job🎉🎉🎉

7:51 that’s wild considering Canada only had a population of 10 mil at the time. For reference Italy was at 45 mil in 1945.

[jaskaransidhu]

Crazy how UK and France were in the top 5 the entire time until the last decade

[ninlog]

12:33 nothing happened in China in the 80's. Nothing happened, Drew

[Lifeless-jkez]

The clap that Drew did after the video ended was amazing.

North korea has the same gdp as Los Angeles

I will truly never fathom the success of France and the United Kingdom in “ruling the world” with a combined population of 120 million. China and India make up 40% of the world, the USA have 350 million people etc.

People always mention race but I am convinced it’s geography and climate; there are no devastating natural disasters, and the wildlife isn’t anywhere near as dangerous as other places

Additionally, what concerns me is the factor that they both potentially became so powerful because of conflict with eachother; it forces you to adapt in order to reign supreme, and it’s depressing to think humanity requires a war in order to progress

It’s even stranger when you look at Mongolia. 2nd largest empire in history with a population smaller than almost every one of our states. Turns out, most of Mongolia is within China, called “Inner Mongolia”. This is probably due to sinicization

[ReefzYT]

Shoutout New Zealand again @8:22

Edit: Poland were in the top 10 from about the end of WWII until ‘79. How interesting is that?

[RubberToeYT]

Very interesting vid with great drew commentary as always

Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 153]


























































The Mk 153 Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) is a smoothbore shoulder-fired rocket launcher. It is a portable assault weapon (i.e., bunker buster) and has a secondary anti-armor ability. Developed from the B-300, it was introduced to United States Armed Forces in 1984. It has a maximum effective range of 500 metres (550 yd) against a tank-sized target.

Its sad to see russians spending polish money on military to this extent between 50s to 80s considering some of the cities had around 80% of the infrastructure destroyed after the ww2. Some of the cities were declared strongholds (for example the city i live in - Wroclaw) and they didnt surrender even after the taking of Berlin which only amplified the damage.
