I’ve been wondering what was it back in the early days that gave the spurt to the USA to succeed the way it did?
Even after it had won its War of Independence, there were other nations on the American continent that could have developed into something that rivalled USA. Canada and the Spanish/Portuguese speaking South American nations.
They too had the potential, in room for growth on a largely underpopulated continent, together with common cultures and languages.
Yet somehow USA came out on top.
I’m just wondering what the mechanisms were that made it possible.
