You didn’t account for inflation or other various economic factors in your equation. A more accurate summarization of American spending throughout two centuries is what percent of the US budget was taken up by military, and also account for what percent of the US GNP was taxed, as pre-1913 the US was radically laissez-faire. I guarantee it’s radically less than 700 billion. In fact the United States military budget when accounting for discretionary and mandatory spending by Congress is about 15% of the budget, about 49% goes to Social Security and health and human services. So you’re right simply because the US was radically laissez-faire economics, Government outlays accounted for 2% of GNP back in it’s proto-european growth, but only by technicality because we didn’t spend much even on health and human services.
@@chrismoderate3495 this has to be innacurate. Trump signed a 2trillion dollar bill. Since the USA is not supposed to have a standing military budgets are assigned every two years. Under Obama I thought it was 600billion for two years. So, i wonder where the numbers are coming from

I love how you can clearly see the way military expenditure goes through growth and decline in relation to conflict and political changes. Some of these include: the Crimean War (Russia, Britain, France, and the Ottoman Empire), American Civil War, Franco-Prussian War, Scramble for Africa, Boer War, Russian Revolution, the World Wars, decolonization, and America's Southeast Asia/Middle East adventures.

@Alistair Bolden The US still has a large amount of infantry. There is no moving away from infantry, that's just nonsense. We haven't gotten a new tank because we upgrade old ones. While the US does invest a lot in air superiority, it invests in a lot of categories.
It would make more sense to portray this as military spending as a % of each country's GDP, to truly show their motivations. It will be warped if it's just 'total spending' as richer nations are bound to spend a lot more.
That's the thing. Russia is spending more than U.S in 1980's but that's shooting itself in the foot economically because it's significantly higher part of GDP than Americas spending is.
Why do you think rich nations should spend more in absolute no.'s . US is 3rd in population by a large margin and 1st in millitary spendings by large margin.why should a nation with lower population spend more than otherd. It just showa US loves wars .

The reason France had such a high military budget is because for most of history it was politically isolated, and historically France was usually the country fighting coalitions, not Germany. The 20th century was basically a major change in world politics.

I love how you can clearly see the way military expenditure goes through growth and decline in relation to conflict and political changes.
Some of these include: the Crimean War (Russia, Britain, France, and the Ottoman Empire), American Civil War, Franco-Prussian War, Scramble for Africa, Boer War, Russian Revolution, the World Wars, decolonization, and America's Southeast Asia/Middle East adventures.

It would make more sense to portray this as military spending as a % of each country's GDP, to truly show their motivations. It will be warped if it's just 'total spending' as richer nations are bound to spend a lot more.
That's the thing. Russia is spending more than U.S in 1980's but that's shooting itself in the foot economically because it's significantly higher part of GDP than Americas spending is.
Good point
