After a failed timeline, I've realized I don't have much knowledge on this topic. So I'll ask-how does one have their nation industrialize, preferably in a short period of time (10 years-ish)? How could a country develop manufacturing to the point where they are able to become an influential regional power, or maybe even a global power? What if the nation is a former colony; how can it industrialize quickly during (or after) its colonization? If industrialization isn't the only path to the growth of influence and prosperity, how else can a nation rise in power significantly?
