It was more about all that money they got paid by European powers.

Ironically, Germany is doing so well because their debt has been erased after WW2.

Except that the US was already the biggest economy at the time, and was displacing the UK in many aspects.

It was a matter of time m8. The War just sped up the process.

Last I checked, said brilliant minds from Europe FLED to America, they weren't kidnapped en mass or some shit.

And even in some hypothetical universe where the US didn't create the first nuclear bombs, then I doubt the USSR would have them either, as they stole basically everything they knew from the US.

Without nukes, the US and the USSR would have had to invade the Japanese mainland, no doubt would have won with heavy losses on all sides, the world war would have ended and the cold war still would have happened. The main difference being that with a lack of nuclear arsenals on both sides, there would have been a lot less proxy wars and a lot more direct fighting between the US and USSR (at least until one develops nukes, and the other side steals it all), which probably would still eventually lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union at some point, seeing as how badly they fucked it up.

Nope, USA was growing in power even when it was isolationist. Although it wasn't heavily militarized until the world wars.

Just a huge agricultural advantage over most countries in the world and the bonus of not being made of up shitty Brazilians. Brazil should be a superpower too, but brown people are dumb as fuck.

USA is becoming dumber now because of all the brown migrants, but it at least achieved success before that day came.

>>57202825
PPP means as much as nominal in this case m8, that is why is irrelevant and why per capita is relevant, the european powers had much more influence and industry compared to the size of their mainland population, meanwhile the US was still industrializing, catching up, also expanding its territory to the Pacific

The US was more industrialized than pretty much all of Europe bar Britian and Belgium by 1870

We never played catch up to anyone but Britian, the world played catch up to us

We also caught up to Europe bar the Lowlands and England by 1800, we surpassed again around 1870

Because US was incredibly decentralized and also empty.

We didn't become a super power because we needed a world war to put us politically on top. We already had the economics down really fast. If given time we slowly would have emerged as a super power just due to extreme economic might but we wouldn't have been as world-police as we are now

so china and India were superpowers in 1890 wow now that is a good thought
>>57202974
per capita you guys weren't, that is what I am trying to say for like 20 posts by now. It's like saying Brazil being the seventh economy of the world right now is much more industrialized and rich than Italy
>>
>>57203132
Yeah we were

We didn't have that many people dumbass. we had a similar amount of people to European countries in 1870, and a much larger GDP. Per capita it was either on par or higher. After 1800 we were never really behind Europe measured economically.
>>
The worse part isn't that they won the wars, it's that they won the wars by dropping by on the winning side after they were half over anyway.
>>
>>57203346
No its because they are a crime-ridden shithole and this dumb monkey for some reason is projecting his underdeveloped country's high GDP/low per capita reality onto industrial America, which makes no sense because we were totally at parity or higher with Europe post-Napoleon and beyond

27% arable land less then 1% of the population required to farm it all. America was a superpower before then end of the 19th century, like a real estate it's location location location.
