If I write this sentence: "However, just as fast as the dismantle of the british empire was, the recover of its economy took place.", will it be correct?

Thanks in advance.

You need dismantling and recovery, and you may need to change the order a little.
The recovery of the British economy took place just as fast as the dismantling of the empire.
