It's important to realize that during WWII most of our competitors were ether severely damaged, wounded financially, or just plain bombed flat. The Germans and Japanese spent the next thirty years rebuilding all of their schools, cities, roads, and bridges. The 1950's were fabulous in large part because there was demand from everywhere and no other country could supply it but the US. Life is a whole lot easier when you don't have any competition!
