America became the richest and most powerful nation by massive amounts by fueling and watching Europe destroy itself and then double down by implementing communism in even more of the continent.

France got their ass kicked and the UK was on the ropes, becoming hopelessly indebted to the US and losing their empire. The USSR lost 14% of its population from the war, the US lost .32%
