America is why you aren’t speaking with a German accent. It supplied nearly all the oil and sacrificed 420 k soldiers in the effort. Yes, America profited after the war, and continued to occupy and democratize Germany and Japan. it has its problems but it also has been pro democrat until now. Trump has changed all that and one major party is literally now fascist. Now, you need to return the favor.The USA not only profitted post war, but they also profitted FROM both wars in supplying the allies - manufacturing the arms and munitions used by the allies. US infrastructure was rebuilt and modernized by the New Deal, and the USA was poised to succeed as a result.
Canada and the USA boomed post war because neither country was bombed back to the stone age during the war. But when both European and Japanese manufacturing was rebuilt, it was with the latest technologies and efficiencies, so that by the 70's and 80's, US manfacturing and infrastructure was aging and less efficient, and that left the USA economically lagging.
Your current problems are the result of Republicans taking the country in 1980 and throwing out "New Deal" economics which worked for ALL of the people, with supply side economics which favoured the "investor class".
