If the U.S. had remained part of the British system, we would have been mired in socialism and unable build the MASSIVE amount of arms that defeated Hitler's army. What won the war was the motivated involvement of the most advanced production systems known to man and the guts of the American soldier to use those weapons. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and others would have been fighting Hitler's army with bow and arrows riding horseback, if it weren't for America's incredible factory production. The same is true today. New Zealand couldn't defend itself with its 3 ship Navy if it weren't for America's Naval leadership, both above and under the ocean. A few pirate ships could probably take the island. We don't expect a thank you after so many years, but re-writing history is a bit much Maurice. If the USA had remained part of the British system as did Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and others, the USA might not have hidden behind the Atlantic for so long after hostilities got going. But, it's all water under the bridge and is idle conjecture.
