"text": "Not really. This is kind of an common myth though. Not Britain, not France or most of Western Europe, Spain, etc. main island Japan wasn’t even too bad. Even the USSR’s industrial capacity skyrocketed *during* WWII, and the factories were off the front lines. The US was the most industrialized nation long before that. There are multiple accounts of German POWs commenting that they thought they must be in New York because of all the factories, but it was some random Midwest medium sized city. The US has been the largest economy in the world since the 1890s. Even pre-war Germany was not nearly as industrialized as the US. The US just has an insane amount of natural resources, a constant flow of immigrants to build a growing worker population, and the ultimate productivity system, capitalism, and rule of law.",
