PS: -Japan had been industrialised since WW1 and emerged post WW2 and a manufacturing powerhouse -similar with Germany -Korea imitated Japan starting in the 1960s and has just about caught up with Japan now -China imitated them starting in the 1980s and, IMO, it will trump all 3 by 2025.(short of WW3)
It took the USA 150 years to industrially develop (post the Civil War) to where it is at now and Great Britain (UK) twice that time
