You must have missed the Great War, WW2, the Cold War, the Yugoslavian Civil War and the Kosovo War.

We know. You came late to the party when most of the hard work was done by everyone else and took the glory for yourselves.

I am not American.

The US entry into the Great War was the turning point as the Russia had fallen into disorder and the Kaiser was about to push for Paris.

WW2 is more arguable as Nazi Germany was already suffering setbacks at the Eastern Front, but without the US outproducing all other powers combined it would have taken much, much longer to reach a decision.

There wouldn't be have been a Cold War in the first place the USA and their atomic bombs facing off the USSR and their atomic bombs. Other European powers only nuclearized later, and their nuclear arsenals were tiny compared to the two superpowers.
