The western monetary system during ww1 and ww2 was based on gold and the USA had the most and also produced the most.

Not true now.

Plus, in ww1 and ww2, the usa suffered very little damage on their home turf.

that won’t be the case in ww3.

Well, we were on the gold standard during WWI.

Since FDR took us off the gold standard, however, this was not the case with WWII.

How can you be so certain that any war between the US and China would be a world war?
