Why is it that the UK has lost its power to the point that it's now not as influential as Germany?

They can't build anything worth a damn unless the Germans help them anyway.

Brits have this delusional perception that the British Empire is still a thing.

>leaving

the EU has purposefully refused 2 trade with them[or rather, continue like it was b4 when they were apart of the 'union']: but that doesnt make them weaker, i appreciate them actually, more so than 'Germany' & more so than any1 who is in the 'union' & dares call themselves a 'Nation'

exactly

We are basically involved in every dirty operation worldwide, so yeah. Israel first, germany second.

This. We have no heavy industry anymore so even the stuff we do assemble is made of shit.

Simplefied: The UK still owned enormous wealth in the US and the rest of the world at the end of the nineteenth century but sold a lot of those assets to finance World War I.
A lot of privately owned British wealth was subsequently erased in the Great Crash of 1929.
By the time World War II started Britain was already no more than a husk of the former Empire. Although Britains like to think they won WWII, it would be more accurate to say that they survived by the skin of their teeth. Only the US and the USSR can effectively claim to have won WWII.

...

We dont make anything anymore. We have good universities, and just export knowledge. Even if a good product gets launched, our communities just arn't cohesive enough to do it efficiently. People think they are above hard work, and they deserve their hedonism.

>Although Britains like to think they won WWII
Some do, i certainly don't, churchills selfish nonsense cost us everything.

>We have good universities
No we don't, we did once but not so much now.

white!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 1950s Suez-Canal desaster. Eisenhower had to bail them out in the end and they never recovered.

That's why.

Most people/agencies list the UK as 4th most powerful nation, with Germany and France placed below us;

1. Americuh
2. Russia
3. China
4. UK
5. Germany
6. Frogland (although too scared to use military)

...

The difference between the Brits, Americans and USSR in WW2 was they all contributed to the allies victory. But the brits fought from the very beginning, the USSR swapped sides midway and the americans played the neutral game until the middle stages.

You scrapped your Navy.

The US gained worldwide influence and economic dominance at the cost of just 300.000 casualties.
The USSR had 60% of it's population as a casualty at some point in the war but ultimately gained half of europe and enormous industrial and technological progress.
Britain gained zilch only lost men, resources, capital.

Brits were the first casualty of the Frankfurt School.
All those marxist philosophers chanting "Colonialism is bad! Why don't you rise up against EBIL whitey, natives? What are you, chicken!?" unfortunately had an effect, both in making the natives chimp out and in sapping the resolve of the British establishment to slap them down.

Plz come back Britain, I wanna be technically anglo again ;__;

Unlike Germany we let our industry and technology sectors fall into ruin because of a nonsensical belief that the service sector was the future. It's partly based on old cultural values that put a premium on law and trade over actually making shit people want.

>the 1950s Suez-Canal desaster. Eisenhower had to bail them out in the end and they never recovered.

You're getting your facts wrong. The military situation in the Suez was a total tactical success for the British and French. The humiliation of the whole experience comes from the fact that the Americans were willing to betray their allies so that they could appear peace-loving to the Arabs so they wouldn't side with the Soviet Union. It led to the collapse of the British government of the time and a crisis of faith that we have never recovered from, and in the end it backfired horribly on the Americans.

Brits are too good natured. When faced with an aggressive in-group favoring ethnic collective (aka semite cabal) they quickly fold. They really need to learn a thing or two from the slavic kebab removers

It seems like france has better maintained their colonialism game and germany is simply a greater power. German relations to the east also help.

They practically control the entire europe.

They also betrayed Israel.

>yfw America were "the Jews" all along

Uk?
Actually have a wall
Mass deportations
The most powerful currency in the world
Best political system
Best cars
Most strong military in europe
Most efficient people.

Lol. I know this is a bait thread, but we still have a larger cultural, military and political influence on the world. But I'll readily admit that Germany's economic might is stronger than ours.

One word : Thatcher

A myth propagated by leftists who blame her for a macroeconomic trend that was occurring anyway. Thatcher was a strong PM and there is a reason she was in power for 11 years.
