    Which “most devastating invasion” are they even speaking about? WW2 showed no significant growth of china’s economy.

      The nazi invasion of Russia killed millions of men; whether that’s the most devastating I don’t know, but I believe Russia had the largest casualties in the war.

      At least that’s what I think they’re talking about idk.

        Ah yes the comment was about the USSR, the picture was about China, that’s why I got confused. Though that now props the question whether they deliberately ignored the fact that the territory of the USSR grew past its 1930s borders in the aftermath of the war or not.

        Also the “entire might of capitalism”? The USSR might have been fighting the entire might of fascism but got quite substantial help from a large part of the capitalist might

          No kidding on the help from capitalism. It’s some ridiculously large number that the USA poured in to keep them fighting.
