Before the American entry into WW2 it was popular to say>let the authoritarian country tired themselves outDo you think America would've eventually become the an economic powerhouse if they didn't enter WW2?
>>18052814InB4>pearl harborIt's obvious america was hostile to the axis given their landlease and blockades
>>18052814USA already were the economic powerhouse even before WWII, but the conflict made their position unquestionable as Europe (and Japan)after it was utterly distroyed. It was then when America's economic uppenhand over Europe was the greatest.
>>18052814America was already an economic powerhouse when it entered ww2, its success was predicated on its wealth of natural resources and size of its internal market.All ww2 did was engender political primacy over the old continent, which was a positive if you believe that otherwise the soviets would have taken up the mantle instead (doubtful).
Coal, oil, and farmland gave the U.S. a huge natural advantage.
>>18052814The world bank moved form England to the u.s.a. after WW1. That's when the power creep started.
>>18052814>Do you think America would've eventually become the an economic powerhouse if they didn't enter WW2?They already were you moron.USA had like half of the entire world's industrial capacity.This is opposed to states like Japan who only had roughly 2% of the world's industrial capacity.
