If America Falls, Which Nation Would Take It's Place?

[Rekkapryde]

Economists have been saying China for at least a decade

China is over 5000 years old. This is the longest it hasn't been a top 3 civilization

Me and @skeetsinternal about to turn the yellowman into the tan man

That was ALL before the world became critically interconnected to the point where one screw-up in the supply chain would be disastrous. Now, if one falls, so does everything else.​

The Great Depression in Europe: Here’s What Happened <--- this happened pre WW2

 

[Cynic]

This country stopped being 'European' a bit after the War of Independence almost 300 years ago and didn't become a world leader until WW2, 200 years later, which was what pushed America into the #1 spot. The other historical nods, while important, were not. Matter of fact, we'd have been FURTHER along without them.....

How Slavery Hurt the U.S. Economy

Slave labor prevented American capitalism from becoming more efficient more quickly.

You DIRECTLY benefit from the same colonialism you decry so it's a bit hypocritical of you to characterize it negatively, but I get the sentiment.​

False - read up on this guy Samuel Slater
Without him Americas ascendence would have been knocked back significantly

I have no idea what you're saying is false.​

 

[Arithmetic]

The answer is China but this is also true:

Ya kill me how ya think if America collapses the rest of the world is just going to go on with their day like business as usual. America collapses the rest of the world is going to feel it big time including China.

The U.S. wouldn't be further along since the Industrial Revolution started in England and the father of american industry was a british defector

China is maxed out

They got this far by being the worlds source of cheap labor … which is coming to an end.

Outside of expansion or the discovery of some resource that causes an industry/technological leap ..it ain’t happening

That’s why the Taiwan issue is a thing .

If china takes Taiwan will South Korea ,Japan,Australia and the US just let it happen ? Hell naw.

How will India/Russia feel about that ? They’re next door to them .

America became America by cheap labor,access to two oceans that buffers them from invasion and gave us access to two sides of the world…

What other country would be able to do something like that? It’s not there at the moment

Brazil could do it ..problem is they have an army that has never done anything and they’re not that much more economically powerful than the countries they’d have to get out the paint to become dominant . It’s not like they could just strong arm Peru like the US strong armed Mexico and Spain .

I disagree as plantation cotton production accounted for ~5% of America's economy. Had it been abolished sooner, textiles, @~13% of the economy, would have been the leading export. Holding onto slavery impeded economic development and engendered a war between North and South. Would that war have happened if it were abolished sooner? I'm not sure, but I do know that EVERY country that continued using slave labor fell behind those that didn't.​

the states have the world under the gun

only way the spot gets taken is by violence

& if that happens the world will burn on the way out

[RamsayBolton]

it would be china

especially if they pivoted their media to take over the kdrama space

theyd have the economy and media share then to push their ideals of supremacy

 

[CashmereThoughts]

The EU could be a competing superpower if they integrate more

Europe’s losing its grip on its African colonies. Only thing propping them up is that and Americas f-35s, Spirits, carriers and nuclear triad.

I think the real answer is there will never be another America.

 

[IIVI]

Thing is you have to account for a country that knows war as well.

Many South American countries, which include Brazil, don't know war like the other Super Powers do. America, Europe, Russia and China know all about war over centuries of it.

If the U.S falls, the next country will have to know war to protect it's people immediately or they won't be able to protect American "immigrants" from that invading country. At this point not many South American countries stand a chance against modern militaries, especially when they ally up.

 

[Roger king]

The greatest competitor would be the chinese, they have a strong economy, strong military forces and have alot of influence in tons of other countries

The revolutionary war just stopped Europe from running America’s pockets, but America is a European country culturally indeed, it’s just the worst parts of their culture for the most part… And colonialism benefitted not nah nikka in the states… and fukk that article
