and Prussia, before it became Germany in 1871,
00:00:08.009 --> 00:00:10.033
was, because it's so resource-poor,
00:00:10.033 --> 00:00:12.035

00:00:12.035 --> 00:00:15.042
because it's right in the heart of continental Europe
00:00:15.042 --> 00:00:19.071
it has to win its wars completely and very quickly
00:00:19.071 --> 00:00:21.027
because the moment it gets caught up
00:00:21.027 --> 00:00:24.659
