I'm not sure about that. The Ruhr valley is, to this day, still producing iron, steel and coal.
All that good German steel came from there.
Granted, no country has all resources-- we are buying 80% of our lithium from elsewhere.
I don't think an embargo would have done it.
Regarding assassinations: when you start interfering in the internal affairs of another country, you give them permission to do the same thing here.
Once they cross your border, however, it's a different story.
Want the Iranians to start causing trouble here?
