Although the raid on Dieppe seemed like a big failure, it actually set an example of what not to do, and taught many people valuable lessons.

Without the Nazis, deals which had been set up between Hungary and Germany would not have existed meaning products being made would not have sold to that extra market, and Germany would not have gained some products too. In addition, unemployment had steadily decreased since 1933 showing that the Nazis were helping create more money. Also, the production of shoes and textiles appears to increase during the 4 year plan which is due to military uniforms, however it could also be beneficial as the quality of clothes would be paraded around which would make people want new clothes. This shows that the Nazis did help
The tanks were also unwieldy to use as they were prone to getting stuck in the mud and breakdown, as well as being short-ranged and slow, travelling only 10 kilometres per hour. These first tanks had not been tested in trench conditions and were not developed enough. Over a third of the shells used were duds and did not explode on impact. However, the tanks were useful in gaining land and were very effective against machine gun fire as the infantry could follow behind it using it as a shield against the bullets. Later, at the Battle of Cambrai, they were to be used to much greater effect.

The Civil War introduced the revolving pistol as well as the Gatling gun which enabled soldiers to produce rapid fire and destroy enemies in large quantities with a single round. New technological advancements in transportation such as the railroad, enabled large quantities of troops to travel to a given area in nearly half the amount of time. However, the turn of the twentieth introduced new technological advancements in the country as well as the military. This ignited a century of technological advancements in the military that has enabled the United States to excel in militaristic domination.
The only real financial implications of these reforms were the allowed recruitment of another 20,000 soldiers and two millions pounds worth of funding, otherwise the reforms were more concerned with the welfare and quality of troops, such as getting rid of punishments that were barbaric and allowing for better officers and training, although another influence of these reforms was the withdrawal of battalions from some far flung outposts of the empire allowing better training.
