By being on another continent with Canada and Mexico as their neighbours when the rest of the civilised world was engaged in two most devastating conflicts on their soil, leaving millions dead, laying waste upon cities and to top it all of half the continent got communism as a "reward" for half a century at least.

Who?
>>73643982
America was the most powerful country before WW1 and WW2, that's why they won both world wars back to back, as they already were the most powerful country in the world
winning the world wars and winning the cold war further cemented their global dominance

we were probably the equivelant of New Zealand before WW1

Germany was winning WW1 until America put boots on the ground, then Germany got BTFO
In NZ we study WW1 around ANZAC day every year of school, so I know what I'm talking about

What the fuck are you talking about Germany had nearly 300 thousands civilians die from starvation due to the blockade and was running very low on materials again due to the blockade and low on men, They were beaten long before the US spammed their dough boys.
