In 1940, the coal production of the United States was higher than any of the major European powers. Germany had the highest coal production in Europe in 1940, however a large part of this was down to the de-facto annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, where Germany took control of much of the French coal industry. The Western European powers had virtually no oil industry at this time, while the U.S. oil output was roughly six times larger than that of the Soviet Union.
