家园 you underestimate Britons

Britons still won WWII not through industrial power, but through smart international alliance. Do not forget Australia/New Zealand/Canada (non-French speaking)/British commonwealth components.

Rome was defeated by Hannibal repeatedly, but his ally did not give up their bondage with Rome and Carthage lost in the end. In terms of financial strength Carthage actually won out due to its trading capability.

BTW, war between two nations are a competition of 精英 of two nations. In 1860s, Frenchmen/Britons travelled around the world and defeated Qing dynasty armies in front of its own capital, Beijing. A giant nation controlled by a bunch of womanizer 精英 is no match even to a small army that crossed 2 oceans away.
