I feel like America's dominance has a lot more to do with its size (geographically and population-wise), access to natural resources, and coming late into WW2.

    Being late to WW2 helped and so did being distant from both fronts. Thus no widespread damage and ruin to recover from for decades.

    And all that lend-lease money to collect :P (I assume, at least. If someone comes in and tells me the US wasn't paid for all that gear I'll be shocked, but prepared to believe it since stranger things have happened)
