You can graph American global dominance with the WW1 and WW2 immigrants from Europe and it's almost 1:1
>1910s-1930s: Europeans (especially scientists etc) arrive
>1940s-1960s: America creates the nuclear bomb (literally just completed what the Germans were doing), lands on the moon, creates things like the SR-71 Blackbird, golden age of advancement
>1970s-1980s: said Europeans start ageing out of the workforce or dying out, decline starts slow but accelerates, by the 1980s it's in full swing
>1990s and onwards: total downward spiral
If you ever go to boards like /g/ you'll sometimes see posts like
>Hello this is Ragnar Thor Marvel Avengers, I am a European IT worker I am suffering very much with 8 weeks of paid vacations per year and low crime rates I wish I could move to America because I love stroads, SSRIs, and papier-mache houses so much
Which is just modern glowmutts trying to keep Operation Paperclip going because they know they don't have the genetic capital in the US (though I think it's actually going the opposite way lmao).
