      Indeed, is there more you want to comment? Or is there more you would like to know about the 1930s in Europe? Now I understand that I am taking a liberty with the assumption that OP is referring to European heritage, but I could direct you to a book or two to expand your knowledge of history

          There were massive buildup of standing armies. Particularly France with their mobilization to construct and man the Maginot Line. Germany and England began reconstructions of huge and modernized navys. Italy was full throttle Fascism around this time. And yes, Japan was moving some serious weight into China

              Yeah. Again you have huge build ups in the Royal Italian Army, The Red Army, The French Army, the British Navy, The German Navy… Those are just off the top of my head. There is so, so much info on the interwar period. Historians are constantly looking at that time frame because it is immediately after the second industrial revolution, during a global depression, the first major attempt at world government… Incredible leaps in medical, aviation, industry,… this terrifying rise of Fascism/nationalism with some really horrific pseudoscience beliefs attached. Pick a geographic area and just search “x area 1930s”

          I think you should consider the build up of armies/navys on the 30s. Also some pretty quick runs into Fascism. Red army was taking tons of people for the meat grinder

            compulsory military service when you’re not in a time of war rarely exceeds 2 years. I haven’t looked into it, were people who were drafted in Russia in 1932 still serving in 1939?
