The reasons for the rise of the United States and Japan after World War I

One of the main consequences of World War I was the decline of Europe and the rise of the United States and Japan.

The first world war also made Japan develop abnormally. It almost monopolized the northeast market of China by taking advantage of the "God-given opportunity of the Great War", and stepped up its economic penetration into its colonies while Britain, the Netherlands and France were busy with the war.

A large number of military orders from Russia, Britain and other allies have also greatly stimulated the Japanese economy. Due to the submarine war in Germany, the ships of the allies were hit, and the Japanese shipping industry developed first. Haiyuan industry has driven other industries, industrial and agricultural production has become more and more active, investment in enterprises has become more and more enthusiastic, and the company's profits have doubled.

As an immigrant country, the United States can directly obtain the large-scale inflow of capital, technology and talents from the most developed western European countries at that time. After the United States acquired the vast western territory, the domestic natural resources can be fully supplied to meet the needs of rapid economic growth. Two technological revolutions have enabled the United States to quickly surpass Europe in core competitiveness and maintain a leading position for a long time.

Through two world wars, the United States obtained huge bonds and war compensation for Europe, and realized the global transfer of wealth from Europe to the United States, thus establishing the status of the dollar as the world currency.
