Answer :

To determine which country had the largest percentage of the world's manufacturing by 1913, we need to compare the percentages for each country listed in the table for that year.

The information provided is:
- Germany: 16%
- Great Britain: 14%
- France: 6%
- Russia: 6%
- Belgium: 2%
- Italy: 3%

We can now compare these percentages:

- Germany: 16%
- Great Britain: 14%
- France: 6%
- Russia: 6%
- Belgium: 2%
- Italy: 3%

Among these values, the largest percentage is 16%, which corresponds to Germany.

Therefore, by 1913, Germany had the largest percentage of the world's manufacturing.
