They kind of had their own version of the military industrial complex, and were pretty much the most advanced military at the time?

I agree because that is the main reason why they became such a powerful empire ... but if they had entered into the modern industrial age with their military and even into the technological age ... they probably wouldn't look or act any differently than the modern US

I think you can hand the US's technology to any country in history and almost all of them would act exactly like how a global superpower would act. Power makes people evil.
