The connection between the American economy and global conflicts involves defence spending, resource control, trade relations, and geopolitical strategies.

The Military-Industrial Complex is a significant aspect of American society, shaping the country’s defence policies, economic priorities, and international relations.

Since 1945, the United States has been involved in numerous global conflicts - the US needs constant warfare as a part of its economy, which is linked to the Military Industrial Complex.

From 1945 onwards, the United States established itself as a dominant global power through economic strength, military capability, and cultural influence.

America's rise to global power from 1776 was driven by territorial expansion, economic growth, military involvement in world conflicts, and strategic power diplomacy. This evolution transformed the U.S. from a fledgling nation into a dominant force in international affairs, significantly shaping the modern world.

The Industrial Revolution refers to significant economic, technological, and social changes that transformed societies from agricultural to industrial. Four main industrial revolutions have taken place so far.

Goodness, I remember that in the 1950s, in the schools, there were maps displaying the extent of the British Empire, which were marked in red. And yes, it could be said: "The sun never set on the British Empire," and then it was all gone.

The term “Dominions of the British Empire” refers to several self-governing countries within the British Empire. These dominions evolved from colonies and gained varying self-governance from the late 19th century through the 1930s.

The British Empire was extensive, reaching its peak in the early 20th century. The Empire’s geographical boundaries were so widespread that it was often said, “The sun never sets on the British Empire,” meaning that at any given time, the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.

"Greenback" is a slang term for the emergency paper currency issued by the U.S. during the American Civil War in the mid-1860s. Its distinctive green ink recognised it. Initially, the notes were used to finance the Civil War and were backed by the government. However, they were not backed by gold or silver, which led to fluctuations in value and inflation.
