    I get what you’re trying to get at. But I’m talking inherent developed material wealth of a region. Actual physical infrastructure like rails, mines, factories, universities and everyone with the required education and training to run all of it.

    If the victors of the first war received the dividends of that real infrastructure- that matters right up until the moment that they don’t anymore.
