      I’m not sure I’d describe any continental European country as having won World War Two, except perhaps Russia. France could be described as a winner in World War One, but their economy grew slowest before both wars, not after. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_France https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_France
