Although due to the weak foundation, even after more than ten years of hard work, the total industrial output value of the Chinese Republic in 1906 only reached less than one-eighth of the world's total, and there was a big gap compared with the three great powers of the United States, Britain and Germany. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, the remnants of China's war are still there, and there is a terrifying volume comparable to that of the entire Western world, even if Westerners have always been unsure of China's true strength due to secrecy, they all think that the newly born China can find a seat in the ranks of the first-class powers. But even Westerners, who know China best, never imagined that China would be so strong that the United States and Russia would be defeated when they joined forces......

Unlike China, which is underestimated but still firmly in the first group, Tsarist Russia has reluctantly squeezed into the first group because of the overestimation of it by the mainstream view of the world, but parallel goods are parallel imports, and they will appear as soon as they fight, although relying on the incomparably broad depth, Tsarist Russia held out for a long time in the Three Kingdoms War, but in fact, less than three months after the declaration of war on China, the whole world has seen through the extent to which this former "European gendarme" has weakened......

Even though the nightmare of national ruin was temporarily avoided through compromise and peace, the czarist Russia was so devastated that it suddenly fell to the point where even the position of a second-class power was in jeopardy, and the Treaty of Portsmouth nearly wiped out the gains of centuries of expansion into the East, while nearly 5 million soldiers and civilians died during the war (and the civilian death toll only counts the inhabitants of the lands that were still part of Russia after the war). Even with Russia's size, it is still somewhat unbearable, not to mention the fact that with the cession of vast lands in Siberia, Central Asia, and especially on the east bank of the Volga River, more than 20 million people have lost their Russian identity.

Unfortunately, the tsarist government also lost control of the two major granaries, not only because the largest export commodities were out of stock, but also because of the loss of 40 or 50 million people, resulting in the population of Tsarist Russia plummeting to just over 80 million, and most of its greatest advantage in the face of Western European powers had been lost. Of course, if Tsar Nicholas II can quell the civil strife and have the support of the British, there is still hope for a return to rule over the two granaries, but even if this does, Tsarist Russia will still be the biggest loser in the Three Kingdoms War......

If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese army gave full play to its own weapons and tactical advantages in the early stage of the war and played several successive waves of incomparably brilliant victories, and then paid the price of sacrificing the heavenly punishment column to seize the opportunity to control the insurmountable Rocky Mountains, so that the Americans who had eased up later could not use their strength, but they were afraid that the final result of the war would be that the Chinese army was driven out of the Pacific Ocean. It is more likely that even Western Canada will not be able to keep it......

However, there is no if, the United States was defeated after all, although the land west of the Rocky Mountains has not been fully developed, the industry is not developed, and it is not a small loss that can be understated, even if nothing else, millions of people are placed there, plus millions of soldiers and civilians who died during the war, this number is already quite staggering, you must know that the United States is not as large as the population of Tsarist Russia, and it has just exceeded 80 million before the war.

What hurt the vitality of the United States even more was the frenzied flight of the American population, especially the northern population, during the war, especially when the Heavenly Punishment Column ravaged the Great Lakes region, with a total of more than 10 million! Even if it begins to return after the Treaty of London, it is likely to be only a small fraction, and the American population will have to wait at least seven or eight years to recover to 80 million......

For a highly industrialized country like the United States, where the size of the population directly determines the strength of the country, the United States would have had to return the world's largest industrial output to Britain in 1909 without having to wait another year.

However, it must be noted that the British Empire was able to regain the throne of the world's first industrial output not only because of the decline of the United States' strength, if not counting the victorious country of China 2, the United Kingdom led by Chamberlain the Elder can be said to be the biggest beneficiary of this war, considering that Britain did not send a single soldier, this effect is beyond the reach of even China......

Because of its deep ties with the United States, the largest and, in fact, the only buyer during the Three Kingdoms War, the similarity of language and culture, and the consistency of weights and measures, Britain received the largest proportion of arms orders, so that British heavy industry made great progress at an unprecedented rate in the past three years, and the industrial growth rate was firmly in the first place among the European powers.

And more importantly, because of British Canada's "first-come-first-served" advantages and language factors, more than half of the more than 10 million people who left the United States went there, and more Americans returned to Europe went to Britain than other countries. According to British government estimates, during the war, Britain and its colonies absorbed a total of more than 9 million American immigrants, and even if the part that later returned to the United States is deducted, the total number is more than 7 million, which is definitely a strong "perfect tonic pill" for Britain, which has a native population of only more than 40 million and only more than 50 million industrialized population including colonies, because these more than 7 million American immigrants are high-quality industrialized population, and because of the relationship between the same language and the same species, the difficulty of digestion is extremely low.

Chamberlain Sr. optimistically estimated that after the British Empire digested this windfall, the total industrial output would be at least "additionally" net increased by more than 10%, and if we take into account that they had to consume first when they first came in, and that the British economy, which had to worry about overcapacity after the war, could produce a huge pull effect and create a new business cycle, the increase would be even greater. Now that the elder Chamberlain was confident in reviving the glory of the Empire, he could foresee that Germany, which had been catching up with the British Empire for so many years, would finally be thrown some distance away......

Although the vast majority of this group of immigrants went to British Canada instead of the British Isles, what does that matter? As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Britain's own industrial development was close to saturation, and the elder Chamberlain had long had plans to develop industry in Britain's predominantly white Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and abolish the current Governor-General, turning it into a part of Britain, especially British Canada, which was closer and better conditioned.
