During World War II, the U.S. supplied the Allies and got paid in gold propelling the U.S. to the largest holder of gold. After the war, countries linked their currencies to the dollar, which was linked to gold. The gold standard ended, but the dollar’s reserve status remained.
Would be nice if the US no longer used the Dollar’s reserve currency status as a political lever to further it’s foreign policy goals though.
