All of these countries would have become superpowers in the 20th century if they hadn't been victims of imperialism

>india
lmao
>Ukraine/Poland
mutually exclusive as major powers
>Worst Korea
It has been a victim of someone's (mostly Chinese) imperialism throughout all of its history, why would the 20th (or 21st century) be an exception?

Western European imperialism exactly

NATO should've warned Ukraine and Poland that they had no intention of normalizing with Russia and they needed to form a union based on hating Russia 30 years ago.

>>17845493
Half of Ukraine didn't hate Russia 30, or even 20 years ago. The other half hates everyone with a mixture of inferiority and superiority complex. The latter part for reasons probably unknown even for them since there is literally nothing that western ukrainians could feel superior about.

>India
Nigga please
>Korea
Arguably it'd be poorer than modern South Korea because the US wouldn't have poured so many resources to it to combat the North not to mention the implications an unoccupied Korea has for the Japanese relations with China and the Soviet Union
>Ukraine
Only became a country in the 20th century for a brief moment in the 1920s and then merged with the Soviets. Unless you propose some weird alt history path where Ukraine forms before that I have no clue what you are talking about
>Poland
More like a regional power probably rivaling France and Germany, but not by much. Also probably would just end up being dispanded in the inevitable WW1 equivalent conflict as was with Austria-Hungary

>>17844837 (OP)
South Korea IS a tool of imperialism

India is a major power

Ukraine and Poland are both east euro shitholes, Ukraine in particular ruined it’s Soviet success with corruption post 91

>>17845493
The kind of Ukrainians that consistently hated Russia before 2014 is also the kind of Ukrainian that think Ukraine ends at Vistula(at the very least)

>>17844837 (OP)
Yeah I'm pretty sure even most people in those countries would chuckle at that notion lol

Except India
