Yeah of course.

yes

No

lapinpolttaja

Yeah you bombed Lapland. You should've fucked off when you were told to.

We're sorry Funland.

Yes

The third reich was the nr.1 in absolute everything but superpower is if you have worldwide influence right? So i guess no there was just no superpower at this time

There's a reason the term superpower didn't exist at the time.

It was a time when there were diverse WORLD powers. Germany, British Empire, France, the US, Russia, possibly the Italian Empire.
The term "superpower" was only made possible by the cold war, meaning a country that could easily overshadow any other world power (US vs. USSR, I guess today it would be US vs. China).

For only having 5-6 years of peace before the war broke out, yes. Love them or hate them, the Nazis sure knew how to run a country.

For about three years

China is too corrupt to be a superpower. Yes, I am keenly aware of the high levels of corruption in the United States, but that is more in the shadows. In China, every step of doing business requires a bribe. It doesn't just expedite matters, it doesn't put you to the front of the queue, it doesn't make certain that a particular governor vetoes a bill you don't like. It is REQUIRED before any next step gets done. Run that shit through a Communist bureaucracy and shit just doesn't get done.

Definition of a superpower is a country that is able to project their power anywhere in the world. That disqualifies them since they lacked an appropriate navy.

>It took the three biggest superpowers of that time (British Empire, US, USSR) to take them down.

Yes.

It was strong regional power

USSR was not so bigger than nazi germany
US barely participated
UK wasn't a superpower

The UK wasn't a superpower but the British Empire was. There's a difference.

Believe it or not it was considered a superpower at the time.

it was considered but in fact it wasn't

Definitely. And had WW2 not happened, who knows how super they could've gotten.

(Pic related)
British Empire, 1921. Only 18 years before WW2.

Sorry sweetie ;)

Technically.
In practice, they picked their fights early on.
Took Austria without Italians reacting.
Took Czechoslovakia without Soviets and West reacting.
Took Poland without UK and France reacting, together with Soviets.
Took France and Low Countries thanks to French defeatism and good strategy.
Took Yugoslavia with no one reacting.
Took Greece together with Italy.
They fought their enemies in turn. They never faced a real multi-front war like German Empire did.

When they invaded USSR, despite early Soviet incompetence and big tactical victories, they were defeated in 3 years.

For comparison, German Empire fought a multi-front war since 1914, against three other great powers, and even knocked out Russia out of war (though thanks to Bolsheviks), and was highly dangerous even in 1918 (Spring Offensive).
After that they were beaten in field but no one invaded and occupied Germany.

Nazis were completely destroyed by Soviets (though they had Western support). Normandy landings accelerated the end of war but had no massive effect. Soviets would've raped Nazis anyway, everything was over after Stalingrad, or Kursk.

Wrong.... we had the second biggest navy in the world right behind the usa and after a big power gap was the british empire the third biggest navy.
Most of our ships were subs but they did a very good job

Nazi Germany was just a regional power. They didn't have a global influence.

Having control over some useless areas and subhuman people doesnt makes it a superpower

They would've beaten USSR easily if it weren't for their incompentence to be un-prepared for Winter,
And if Hitler had actually listened to his Generals.

Stalingrad was a mistake, Attrition was the biggest killer. Not the Soviets.

Wasted resources on superweapons

Yeah, those were the last moments of Europe being a superpower

Then the USSR wasn't aswell according to your logic.

Siberia is literally just nothing. 70% of Russia is unhabitable.

Please watch this video so I don't write a long ass post. You're wrong.

The only subhumans we controlled were the nazicucks after the war

This winter meme again the real problem was oil at the end almost everything was left behind and you can't do shit with only soldiers against the big red army after they got the lend lease.... without it would end very different but americas economic power together with the millions of russians after years of war was just too much

Before the end of the war not yeah but they had after the war many countries around the world in control or influence AND enough power to defend it. The british empire lasted only so long because nobody cared what they did with niggers poos and so on and the first real conflict they entered destroyed the empire

No. They existed before superpowers were really a thing.

They would have been if they didn't fuck up WW2

RULE

BRITANNIA

You must be some butthurt shitskin haha

>Not understanding what Pax Britannica was

>video
Basically Hitler vastly underestimated the untermensch Russians
