Lol why do you think the US economy exploded so much after WWII? Europe got fucked up the ass production-wise, and there weren’t many other competitors

Are you kidding? Yall begged us to join and send you arms because you bankrupted your own economies. Its not that US domination after WWII allowed them to become the economic center of the world, its that our economic dominance allowed us to bail you out of the war. Heck, we even rebuilt your economies after the war free of charge yet you still complain (see Marshall plan).
The US began to rebound from the depression BEFORE we entered the war in any capacity.

You responded to my comment implying that you were not an American. When I said we (America) did not decimate your (Europe's) economy, you responded implying you were European.
What? Read my original comment. We did not decimate Europes economy. That was my point. They did it to themselves.
