        Sheer scale of Russia’s dominance in the 20’s and early 30’s is what surprises me

        Nice, but the flags, especially Germany, but the USSR, too, annoy me. One of the first things the Nazis did was to get rid of Black-Red-Gold.

        Canada’s Maple Leaf flag is incorrect for much of the time, too.

        Would love to see that same chart but as a percentage of GNP rather than dollars.

        So American employment is dependent on causing trouble and when we don't need to buy oil from Saudi Arabia, they are all geared up to bomb the heck out of us all. Just a really depressing chart - what a terrible way to burn money.

        There is a big factor too climatechange right there. I think they have enough bombs by now...

        Unfair to use the flag of the Federal Republic of Germany (founded 1949) to symbolise the Hitler regime in the 30s.

        Or Imperial Germany which had a different flag again.

        This is a fun graph because if you know when it happens, you can visually watch the Soviet Union collapse.

        So, to sum up, Europe is stronger together. Along any one of us can be taken apart or stuck in one-sided dominated relationships with countries whose leaders think they be god.
