Really People, Spain the Strongest Country in 1914? Are you kidding me?

Spain right before WWI was beaten by America, experienced several interal revolts, failed to conquer Morocco, and was led by an unstable Monarchy, and part of the reason it never entered WWI was because its Economy was too bad to sustain an industrial war for prolonged periods.
