And I go like "yeah, but British Army is just two divisions strong. India normally fields 45 Divisions, not counting paramilitary." . Or according to this example: it'd be "Challenger 2 is the best tank in the world and worth 10 T-90, but we got just 224 Challenger 2 while they got 4200 T-90 and T-72" . In just a few years, when Brits get the Challenger 3, the situation would be to that India will be manufacturing as many tanks as UK has in just one year. And still the Brits will continue to explain how they are stronger (on land).

wrong. you cannot just spread vaccine around, it has to be approved. As of 31 January 2022, Covaxin (Indian vaccine) has been granted emergency use approval in 13 countries. India initially approved the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine (manufactured under license by Serum Institute of India under the trade name Covishield). Germany, which developed many different vaccines (the first mRNA vaccines as well) has given vaccine to 46 countries AND helped to built new vaccine manifactures for instance in Africa. The biggest donor countries in the world are 1. USA and 2. Germany (btw,, same is true for many other projects like the UN itself which gets most money from the US and after that from Germany. (which btw, starts to suck. I dont like that we support antisemitic/antizionist Nazi-Sharia countries and racist projects like 'Palestine' - which was already supported by Hitler/NSDAP - the real Nazis (which were mixed-left wing btw.), and their variations like all those socialist/left wing dictatorships and parties (not to talk about female rights, human rights, democracy etc. they permanently violate).

1) The brief burst of U.S. spending in 1896-1898 went mostly to a larger navy, and the rest for the Spanish-American War of 1898. 2) From the 1890s until World War 1, the UK built an astonishing number of battleships, several every year. The technology advanced so rapidly that some were already obsolete when they entered service. The other naval powers were the doing the same. 3) By the time the U.S. entered World War 1, the UK and France were financially spent. The U.S. provided the financing later in the war, but much of the weaponry the American army fought with in 1918 was French. The war ended before the U.S. arms industry could develop and build it own weapons. Enormous quantities of food, clothing, oil, and other military supplies were supplied by the U.S. 4) The massive military spending by the Soviet Union in the 1970s and '80s, and the consequent lack of money for everything else, was one of the causes of its collapse in the early '90s.

[@trevor3013]

As people are pointing out with GDP. The US spends 3 percent for 800 billion in 2021 while in 2021 Saudi Arabian spent 6 percent for 40 billion. Imagine if the us spent 6 percent instead. Also even though the US spends more money every year, it's projected that the amount of GDP spent will decrease by 2032 to 2.7. that's madness Also in 1991 the Soviet union didn't just disband. It collapsed economically and disbanded. Also you mentioned the exponential growth of wealth, which can be attributed to the British Empire and United States which promoted free trade and both countries adopted alliances after WW2 which increased trade and wealth worldwide Also that increase in the 1900s post ww1 was definitely for defense. The US was the largest economy already by that point but was completely defenseless aside from the two oceans protecting it. It became increasingly necessary to have a bigger military

Many of the pre-1914 spurts by various countries were caused by the modernization and expansion of navies in the new Dreadnought era. Even South American countries got into naval arms races. The United States defense budget isn't just for manufacturing and maintaining arms, but for the research that keeps the new weapons systems at the cutting edge to defeat any potential rivals. China has a big military budget, but many of the weapons systems they build and buy with it can be decades behind those of the West.

You guys seem unaware of several wars that certainly affected military spending such as the Franco-German War in the 1870s, the Spanish-American War in the 1890s and the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. More recently, Reagan became US President in 1982 with a promise to increase military spending which he did and essentially bankrupted the Soviet Union forcing it to try to keep up. It collapsed in 1989 and under Yeltsin had a very bad economy so it's not surprising their military spending was very low for a while. I forget exactly when Putin came in but I suspect that would be when Russian spending started to grow again.

During these conflicts, new military technologies were discovered or made. It is worth pointing out that in the 2000’s-2010’s there were a few big budget research projects that got terminated.
