Post WW1 there was a major anti war sentiment in the U.S. which led to the armed forces being quite underfunded and as a result they had a shortage of men and material, something the great depression exasperated. The lend lease program was ultimately what kicked the US war industry into shape and after making loads of money after the WW2 the military industrial complex decided to not go back to sleep.
No doubt, lend lease helped - but I think there was also an expectation of us being dragged into the war directly, and needing even more production. Through the mid-late 30s, we stockpiled machine tools, anticipating a substantially increased need.
The military industrial complex almost went back to sleep then Korea happened and we almost lost it at first then some politicians started saying if they can beat us in Korea what's to stop them from beating us in California and the military industrial complex never shut down after that. It should of went back to sleep after the fall of the Soviet Union but there's to much money in it with too many politicians on both sides owning stocks in these defense companies.
The bit that annoys me about this focus tree is that Five-Star General Douglas MacArthur would never agree to honour the Confederacy since his father fought them as a boy.

Hilariously, your nation in this video seems to be the most inclusive nation I've ever seen in HoI4! Look at all the different peoples, under all the different flags, fighting for a single cause!
@@thatguy3421 I feel a scenario like that could work, but I think he's doing like he did with the USSR or Russia against a Communist World or with this, is having a country being a different ideology against a world that turned to their starting ideology, in this case having Germany or Japan going Monarchist or Non-Aligned against a Fascist World makes a little more sense both Germany, and Japan both start as fascist nations in HOI4, but having a Monarchist Germany against a Communist World scenario can also work.
"2 party dictatorship" you're not wrong, that's actually the best way i heard it ever. You should get into political commentary, i think you could explain issues very well. I think the accent alone would be entertaining to hear while it's trying to change my mind about certain issues. Probably the playwright in me having fun with envisioning an alt-history path where Mountain General became an educator of politics and history on par with Thomas Sowell. The jokes at least indicate a high degree of awareness required, i can tell the deep state might have you on a watchlisy given that they have no problem Genociding Russia to the last Ukranian which in itself is a Genocide of Ukraine. It's like blaming the addict and not the dealer with half of the pro-ukrankians who don't understand that the ukraine they support has a nazi collaborator and holocaust architect in ukraine as a founding father since the Euromaidan revolution of dignity. Thier HQ before regime chaning kyiv literally had the collaborator's photo portrait painting him as a founding father of the movement. Geo-strategically the paranoia of making russia an enemy despite noy allowing them to join nato, expanding NATO likevan empire, the double standard between Kosova and Abkassia who used similar inspirations to declare independence, and the US-created oligarchy in Russia and Ukraine that makes them so corrupt countries literally made the people elect putin to stop the looting and robbing of Russia and if putin succeeds liberates ukraine by purging half of thier oligarchs too. Putin actually controls the few oligarchs who remain while allowing the civilian private sector to become virtually a free enterprise more like what the US once was. The US is now a mixed economy, with too many regulations, and outright ignoring grassroots and consumers to be market capitalism as claimed. Then again, Trudeau of Canada loves the Chinese model. Maybe so does the Washington Uniparty that unites the 2 party dictatorship around waging wars. The american people were never unformed on let a lot got to vote themselves upon. The Feds are the closest about being a rebellion, and they've kidnapped the militia so no one can drag them from the closet and clean their act. The militia being eliminated as a national influence means thst there's no checks and balances against the government from the people without deep state influence in companies like Meta and Google. In other words, we can obly liberare ourselves if we elect only puppets of thiers since they've assassinated or shadow coup'ed anyone who tried before to clean them up like JFK. By the way, the former president and founding president of the CIA Harry s. Truman believed that the CIA killed Kennedy and went as far as to call his creation "The American Gestapo". The president who authorized the creation of the CIA would by media logic be a conspiracy theorist; Let that sink in... no musk no literally.
This felt like if Call of Duty developers took meth, played HOI4, and said: "Are we high Hank?" "Let's make William Duddley Pelley into the next COD villain Jerry, you are a genius!"

We Americans may own 10 guns each, but that doesn't mean we are gonna give them to the government.

I think if you do another one of these scenarios, you should do Germany or Japan being Monarchist against a fascist world.
How about a Monarchist Japan or Germany vs Communist world? Objective for monarch: do not lose head or sent to basement.
