Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they did notice but thought that it would suit them to have a strong nation between them and the USSR. And avoid provoking Germany into a war before France and Britain were adequately prepared to strike a decisive blow that would avoid a long drawn out war like the first world war. But hey, they ended up getting one that was two years longer and cost over double the lives that the first did. At least it's a good lesson for next time.

@@kingstannisbaratheon7974 I mean, at the beginning, nobody really though that Toothbrush moustache man would be able to manage the country. Plus, in 1939, France alone had a more than capable military force, and Nutzees were still more or less imperialist virgins, unlike Japan or the Soviets. I believe Allies were more worried that their pact with Walrus moustache man would last too long, as the Soviets were the ones giving them a lot of resources they lacked. So, apart from underestimating them, a quick decisive military victory over France was enough to give Germany a good time to control western Europe, but in the end, the economy of the third Reich was still held together with whatever they had instead of duct tape at the time, and there was the whole Operation Barbarossa thing. By the time they failed to make the UK surrender, the war would only get worse and worse for them, and that was as early as 1941.

After the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland (and later the rest of Czechia), they were in a far better position to wage war (as well as the fact that the British and French betrayed the 4th largest arms exporter at the time, who’d spent a considerable amount of effort building defenses along their German border, only for it to be given away for free after the Munich conference)

If we count each of those years as one year of War (even though there might be some years with just 2 months of wars, I don't know the exact dates), that's 13 years of war. So from the end of the war of independance in 1783 to joining WW1 in 1917 (both excluded), 13 years have been years at war and the remaining 119 have not seen a war. So I'm safe saying it was not "mostly at war" as the guy said. And actually, even if you count WW1, you have 15 years of war for 140 years of war until joining WW2 in 1940.

Why would it have been any different? Every country has its own interests, and militarily strong countries don't generally roll over like sheep when attacked, as weaker ones so often do. Perhaps you're not able to grasp such a concept, for whatever reason, but that's how geopolitical reality usually works. Here in Europe, for example, nobody really gave a damn about climate change until it started having negative effects here very recently. Now all of the sudden it's some kind of priority (at least it's spoken about more, although I doubt much will really be done in the near future) in places such as Germany, and will no doubt soon be a priority in other places, as things get worse. It's really not rocket science to understand how these things actually work.

Even before Pearl Harbor, America was already spending tons of money on their military. FDR knew war was inevitable and wanted the US to be prepared for when the conflict finally arrived, which is why even when Pearl Harbor happened in December of 1941, America was already spending a shit load of money in 1941. Plus Lend-Lease became a thing in June 1941 where America manufactured a shit load of artillery for Britain, USSR, and China. (Mostly Britain)

As unlikely as it is with war being what it is and thus plans rarely going perfectly, we could still feasibly take on the entire world and win, for if no other reason than having a single unified command structure and fewer vulnerabilities that could cripple us entirely. After all, ships, tanks, and strike aircraft cant do shit if they dont have fuel. Keep in mind: The USAF is the largest AND most technologically advanced air force on Earth. The second largest air force on Earth is the US Navy. The USN is also the largest Navy on Earth and has the supply networks to be able to go where ever the Hell they want. No one else does. The Royal Navy comes closer than most, but still doesnt compare. And we are an all volunteer fighting force. Imagine how ludicrously huge we could get if we started doing conscriptions or a draft in time of war.

If anyone is wondering, the Soviet Union’s military budget exploded in the 1920’s because of the Russian civil war (1917-1922), the Polish-soviet war (1919-1921), and independence wars of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in 1918-1920. Basically the Russians were fighting like 5 wars at once

there was a point when we outspent the next 18 countries combined. But it is a bit misleading because our defense industry is private companies who pay corporate taxes and all their employees pay income taxes. More than 25% of our defense spending immediatly comes back as taxes the following year. unlike a country like Saudi Arabia whose defense spending pretty much all goes to us companies

This seems to show a trend over time that started with large countries increasing military spending during wartime and changed to countries just permanently maintaining a large military budget.
