US and USSR
The United States and Soviet Union (aka Russia)
the united states and the soviet union
The United States and the Soviet Union. And the United kingdom.
Countries economies became more interconnected following World War I APEX
it was the strongest economy in the world
Both were total wars that involved countries' entire populations :)
The assumption that Romania was at any time "the 2nd strongest armed forces in World War 2" is wrong. The following countries were all way ahead of Romania militarily in World War 2: # Germany # Britain # The U.S. # The Soviet Union # Japan Yes I agree. Where did you get that statistic? I wonder if the question is based on a confusion of Romania with some other country, perhaps Russia??
I think one result was that Germany had the strongest army in Europe, and the second strongest navy (only second to England)
Spain had the strongest
all the different countries wanted to each have the strongest army/navy so they started building up their forces. All of a sudden it became like a certain competition. Who ever had the strongest army would be the strongest country and could colonise more countries.
Great Britain and France
At the very end of WW2 the United States was the strongest country by far and the Soviet Union was the second strongest country.
