Yes, I know WW1 ruined it.

But really, WW1 ruined all of Europe, and yet Germany rose from defeat and nearly conquered the entire continent.

Britain, meanwhile, was hanging on by threads.

But yet they were the masters of the world's largest empire, with the largest {though surpassed by the U.S} economy.

Why is it Britain performed so poorly during WW2?*

*Please don't bring up how well they fought or the heroism they showed, yes yes I agree that the British fought hard and well. But on a grand scale, they did horribly for quite a while.
