Reply to comment by Bravo-Six-Nero in TIL Winston Churchill opposed the American use of napalm during the Korean war but still allowed Americans to publish claims of British support for American napalm attacks. by jamescookenotthatone
The point is Britain is a tiny country, unremarkable even by European standards. Its rise to global prominence was never sustainable long term. It had already lost its economic dominance before WWI.
The current global hegemon is the US, it is a continent sized country with vast resources and a population of 300 million+. Its dominance makes sense.
