"Only economy left?" You know, despite being called a "world" war, no American countries south of the USA were involved, nor most of Africa, India nor European powers like Portugal, Spain, Switzerland or Turkey, and probably others I forget. And this was despite two globe-girdling empires dragging in many of their subject states (e.g. Australia and Canada were dragged into the European theatre).

Also the article was discussing "greatest economy ever for the USA".
