"Pax Americana" is a pretty old term, I'd guess it was coined soon after WWII. Hard to say without an OED, but this entry gives it as a generic example of "pax" usage: meriam-webster.com

From a somewhat more obscure online dictionary, this entry goes into "Pax American" explicitly, with an almost on-topic but somewhat sassy mini-essay: wikipedia.org

White man's burden, indeed. That's come up here before too.
