  1. Germany cannot help itself. It have to go towards fascism and imperialism all the time. Germany is as much of a threat as ever. Merkel has accomplishing the total German take over of Europe - A dream which her dad Adolf never could realize.

  2. Prussia invaded Austria. England was friends with Austria. Prussia was on the same side with Spain. England goes to war with Spain. You could say that this was kind of a world war with lots of countries on each side.

  3. It is on the list of the top 5 largest economies in the world. And City of London is the largest Banking hub in Europe, if not even the world. Even most wall street transactions take place there. It was the country that fist invented the industrial revolution, and other countries started to compete did England simply go over to doing banking and shipping goods from all over the world on its boats and make money from those two ways instead. Today's Germany is an economy stealing jobs and economic growth from other countries (ie Spain and USA). But this cannot continue forever. When southern Europe, post-Brexit UK and USA raise tariffs and demand that Germany also pays for its own military.. then things will look less good for the German economy.

  4.  @VK-xw4yz  England have done some stealing in the past. But today it is country that imports stuff, while Germany is doing it wage dumping mercantilism to grow its economy with exports on other countries expense. And Englands economy has been weak for some decades as you say. As I said earlier is it because the banking orientation has grown at the expense of manufacturing. But with Brexit England is now able to change path if it wants to. Import substitution is now possible, so England can produce more of their own products for English customers instead of importing things Germany or France. The fishing waters is going back to England, and the money from the EU membership fee it would keep. Cheaper food from outside the EU would also means lower cost of living, lower wages and a higher standard of living. And no over-regulation would harm the economy. And new trade deals could be tailor made to Britains interests. But I am not foolish to think things would all change over a day. The Corona crisis is still harming the world economy

  5.  @storyspren  Kind of. Before the war was France and Britain rivals that wanted to dominate America, and Sweden and Russia had fought each other for centuries. But the war began when Prussia's King invaded Austria to steal its richest province: Silesia. And as a bad excuse to have the right to do so, did Prussia say that Austria's new ruler Maria Theresa was not a justified to rule her country because she was a woman. And other countries said the bad excuse as they tried to steal Austrian land, and French troops also began fighting against Austria. And Bavaria and Saxony also joined the war against Austria. And soon did you have large war with many of the largest countries in Europe involved. And troops and warships all over the world fought each other in Europe, North America, West Indies and in India. The big winner of the war was Prussia who could keep Silesia. While France did not do any important conquests, and Sweden who had started a war against Russia would not accomplish anything. And the war ended up making Austria angry. Silesia was her richest province and it had paid 25% of all tax revenues for the huge Austrian empire. And Austria wanted to take back her lost province and destroy Prussia as a revenge. And France also was also angry on Prussia, because Prussia had signed a military alliance with France and had then signed a secret peace deal with Austria which had left all the burden of fighting the war into French hands. France felt betrayed. And France and Austria became friends after the war, and the women ruling both those countries hated Prussia and liked to see it crushed in the next war. Prussia soon realized that she was alone. And three women ruling France, Austria and Russia wanted to see her destroyed. So Prussia then signed a military alliance with Britain... And then was the Seven years war ready to begin. And Austria tried to take back what she had lost. And Britain and France would fight each other again in America, India, Europe and elsewhere. And this war would cause the economic ruin of France. While England took over control over north America and India and laid her hands on French land. England had now overtaken France role as the most powerful country in Europe and the world.
