[This video](https://youtu.be/2TyTUXvoHQI?si=7jRdKsXruYPdpv27) goes into how the US gained its financial status and power since WWII
I’ll have to rewatch it at some point but from what I remember the gist is that the US, not really being affected by the war like European countries and Japan, had the ability to manufacture more and sell it to European countries. This gave them a massive economic advantage after the war and they basically made everyone else sign into a deal that put them on top
While they don’t have such a direct control of other economies now, they’re still the big boss and going against them will quickly backfire in one way or another
