Germany could have easily won WW1 & WW2

A country of then about 69,300,000 took on the entire world and very nearly won.

And, if you look at the ultimate winners (given the Marshall plan among others) you could easily state that ultimately, the United States and the former (hint hint) Soviet Union really lost that war.

Japan nearly pawned us during the 1980's.

And Germany is currently the prima facia in the European Union . . . the third Triumvirate if there ever was one.
