Supplementary notes

Notes per country are as follows:
Belgium: Break in series in 1913.
Czechoslovakia: Total of combined values for brown coal and hard coal output. Figures for 1913-1915 also included with Austria. Figures for 1938-1945 do not include output from the Sudetenland.
France: Figures from 1900-1918 and 1939-1944 do not include output from Alsace-Lorraine.
Netherlands: Total of combined values for brown coal and hard coal output. Figures from 1900-1913 are for Limburg province only.
Poland: Total of combined values for brown coal and hard coal output. Figures for 1939 are for first half of the year only. Figures thereafter are rough estimates and include output from some Czech coalfields.
Russia: Total of combined values for brown coal and hard coal output after 1912. Figures from 1913-1940 apply to the 1923 boundaries of the USSR.
United Kingdom: Includes output from Ireland until 1921.

Of the Allied European countries in the early 20^th century, the United Kingdom had, by far, the largest annual coal output in each year. In most years, the UK's annual coal output ranged between 200,000 and 300,000 tons; this was more than all of the other given countries combined until the 1930s. As the Soviet Union industrialized and its economy grew in the years leading up to the Second World War, its coal output increased significantly, growing ten times larger between the mid-1920s and 1940. It has also been estimated that, when compared to the early-1930s, Poland's output more than doubled after it was annexed by Germany.
