Answer 1

The US was a largely agrarian society up until the world wars which it was largely protected from either side by the atlantic and pacific oceans. There was no industry left the former world powers after the WWII. They had all been destroyed by the war; the US developed a thriving industrial base during the war. The US essentially bribed every nation to let the it write their security policy (don’t be friends with the Soviet Union) and they could have access to US markets
