What I'm showing here is the that the US was clearly far superior to the USSR in most of the major categories for raw materials, with the USSR having higher production in only a small number of things - all of the ones they were higher are shown here - and not ones that are most vital, like coal.Īlso keep in mind that these numbers are from 1937, so represent pre-war production, so the US would be unaffected, while the USSR would suffer setbacks in losing a large chunk of territory. That isn't all of the categories, in fact I left out 13 raw material categories, and 3 food, all of which the United States was superior to the USSR in (Lead, Tin, Rice, Meat, etc.).
Raw Materials/Food Percentage World Production in 1937 (Ellis) Production But neither does USSR outperformance necessarily point to their dominance!
In the immediate pre-war period and during the conflict, the US certainly had the larger overall capacity, but that doesn't mean they outperformed the USSR in all categories. This being something I've written on before, I'll repost an earlier essay for you. Instructions and advice on how to best do an AMA. Want to do an AMA or know someone who does? Message the mods!
