If one does not consider economic and social factors, the scale of East Africa and Tsarist Russia, the corresponding steel output should not be so greatly surpassed by the United States and Germany. East Africa is understandable, after all, its development history is short. Now being able to achieve the fourth-largest high-speed rail production in the world is already an outstanding achievement.
As for Tsarist Russia, it is not short of resources, especially in the early stages of industrialization, resources are even more abundant than in East Africa. East Africa surpassing Tsarist Russia is due to its ability to integrate East Africa's mineral, energy, and land resources through national power.
