In addition to the other comments, consider how Germany got as far as they did in both wars despite geographically being in one of the worst places in Europe for ambitions of conquest, surrounded on both sides by powerful enemies.
They were considered one of the strongest economies in Europe well before the wars, to the point that after the German states united in the 1870s many countries considered that it would be be better to go to war sooner rather than later before their economic might grew too large to stop.
The wars set them back heavily, but Germany wasn’t utterly destroyed, and the building blocks of that economy didn’t disappear after the war. In West Germany, anyway. East Germany didn’t fare nearly as well under Soviet leadership, which might be another topic for you to look into.
