In the long run, the industrial level of Australasia can still be ranked as the fourth in the world, only after the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Germany's industry was affected by mass destruction and looting after the war, but it still has the foundation of being the second-largest industrial power in the world. In 1918, its steel production output was maintained at around 8 million tons, only second to the United States and Britain.
What is more exaggerated is that even though the United States' industrial level has stagnated for several years, the combined industrial scale of Germany and Britain still cannot match that of the United States.
It must be admitted that this country has already become a superpower in industry and economy before World War I and World War II, which laid the foundation for the United States to become the world hegemon in the future.
