I don&#x27;t know about that chart. Saying the United States was equivalant in &quot;standing&quot; to the ottoman empire in 1750 and Russia or Germany in 1800 seems rediculously incorrect to me. Also I see Germany&#x27;s standing is greater than Russia&#x27;s for a while AFTER world war II.<p>Maybe that chart has to do with currencies or some other technical thing but it isn&#x27;t marked that way. What gives?
