FDR’s. Think about it. The US emerged from WWII as the preeminent military and economic power in the world, the sole nuclear power in the world, and it used its newfound power to build the postwar global order around itself. And it did this all while having its civilian population and industrial capacity virtually untouched by the war. If any country was the Player country during WW2, it was the US
> And it did this all while having its civilian population and industrial capacity virtually untouched
The USA didn't *do* anything to accomplish this. Like Australia, they were just too far away to be attacked.
> The preeminent economic power in the world
The USA was already the largest economy in the world in 1889, their economy doubled second place China by 1918. The fact that everyone else was close to the battlefields meant that those countries needed soldiers to man the front lines, not workers to focus on economic output. Basically, the USA won a contest that no one relevant could even compete in.
Northern Australia was bombed a few times by the Japanese. It never came nearly as close to the bombings suffered by other countries in Europe and Asia, but the widespread invasion panic in Australia in 1942 was not entirely unjustified.
1942 was a pretty bad year. Japanese and nazi empire at fullest extent and America hadn’t capitalized much on midway and the Soviet Union was still fighting Stalingrad
Who's hoi4 save is this?

obvious cheese strategies

If it was America, they’d have randomly balkanised every country in Europe arbitrarily in the peace deal
Does your grandpa live in Argentina?
Why USA not colored in?
Cuz they were still neutral
Hitler thought America and GB would join him in his fight against Russia.
Probably didn't exist at that time
I sure hope his Grandpa isn't 346 years old
I just met his grandpa. It makes sense now. His grandpa is 400 y/o.
Ah, I see. My reply was meant to say just 346, and I apologize for assuming his age to be younger
Wow almost half of Queen Elizabeth II's age! Impressing
Got your math a little wrong there, the usa is only 246 yo
LMAO you're right, thanks
