Of course, that was my point.
Quote:Whenever an empire makes a land grab, you can be fairly certain they will grow more powerful once they have effectively proven they own that land, and begun using both its resources and population to increase their overall production capacity.
Well yeah,the US has been doing that for about 200 years.
By the time of the second world war, the US had the greatest productive capacity in human history,and that's why it won more than any other single factor.[in my opinion]
