What to Focus On

  • By 1914 the USA was the world's leading industrial nation.
  • Britain's industrial dominance declined during the twentieth century.
  • The USA benefited economically from both World Wars.

  • After 1945 the world divided into capitalist and communist blocs.
  • The capitalist bloc favoured private enterprise and limited state interference.
  • The communist bloc favoured state planning and public ownership.

  • The Vietnam War and defence spending weakened the US economy.
  • In 1971 Nixon devalued the dollar and imposed import duties.
  • Reagan adopted monetarist policies linked to Milton Friedman.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Britain remained the world’s leading industrial power throughout the twentieth century.

The First and Second World Wars weakened the USA economically because wars always damage the economy.

The Third World means the communist bloc.
