A database set website covering conflicts and military capabilities from 1816 to 2012.
The military capabilities database contains the following information
Iron & Steel Production
Military Expenditures
Military Personnel
Energy consumption
Total Population
Urban Population
A composite index (CINC) is created by averaging all 6 values (divided by the world total for each). For A&A scenario designers this provides some useful information. However, the CINC gives too much weight to large, poor Asian countries, whose capabilities where in practice limited. For example, in 1939, China has a higher CINC than Germany.
Here is some 1939 data.
