This goes a bit off-topic from the main subject of the thread, but… It is true that the economies differ significantly from each other and Russia is not plagued by a shortage of raw materials. However, if Russia had high ambitions for redrawing the borders of Europe, technology would be a similar bottleneck for it as time and raw materials were for Germany.
(In fact, the level of development of the German economy at that time is a somewhat persistent myth. The standard of living was lower compared to, for example, France and Great Britain. Mass production was in its infancy, and technical “superiority” was very limited to certain areas. With high risk-taking and luck, the Germans got as far as they did. You can discuss more in the History Thread if you want).
Agreed.
