You didn't ask me but...
Buy "The Wages of Destruction" written by Cambridge University professor Adam Tooze. Therein lies your answer...

No. The UK was as broke as Germany. Difference being? Germany had the plunder from it's peaceful (and not so peaceful) conquests to finance it's intentions. The above mentioned thesis (2006) is the ultimate reappraisal of the origins/causes of the Second World War.
Highly recommended.
Like I said earlier...don't get me started; you're swimming in the deep end here,
