French political writer Alexis de Tocqueville had predicted that the US and Russia would become the world's greatest military powers. If only by size and population, he believed this to be true. As an aside, the Russian disaster in the Crimean War, seemed to derail this prediction. In fact it delayed the truth of his prediction for decades. The Russian defeats in the Russo-Japan War and its failure in WW 1 seemed to totally derail it.
