USA rose as a super power after WW2 because of their military. Does anything else about America make it Alpha?

There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a king I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I hear the songs from the places where I was born
Up on the hill across the blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I still remember how it all changed
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!
There was a time, I met a girl of a different kind.
We ruled the world, I thought I'll never lose her out of sight.
We were so young, I think of her now and then
I still hear the songs reminding me of a friend
Up on the hill across the blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I still remember how it all changed
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh!
See heaven's got a plan for you
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Yeah!**Houston TEXAS**

Yeah sucks Germany got dat ass worked in back to back wars. Alpha as phuck.
Right the US hasn't contributed anything in the way of technology. US has basically formed what we know of as the international monetary system. IMF, World Bank etc. Dollar is default world currency. USA also pressured UK and France to let go of their colonies post World War 2 and has been responsible for promoting freedom around the world more so than any other country.
Please name a more Alpha country since WW2 than the USA

Most of that stuff was from Europeans or European migrants to the states.
Edison was a fraud, the real inventor was Nikola Tesla.
Telephone - Scottish
Internet - Several people were involved, Packet switching was an idea that went years back even before Paul Baran, and the British invented the web. Which made the internet today what it is. Without the web, it would be text on a screen and just useful for sending text to other people. There'd be no programs, apps, browsers, videos, games, chat programs, porn or any of that, that we use it for now.
Splitting the atom - Most of the influential Nuclear physicist, weren't American.
Apple Windows - They did not create the first Operating system. Windows & Mac were preceeded by many.
The U.S did a lot, but don't over credit it.

Sorry. Windows and Apple are US companies. Obviously there are influences and contributors from all over the world in this day in age, but claiming otherwise is silly
Splitting the atom. Where did those physicists come to accomplish that? US.
EVERYONE in the US is a migrant to the States. Part of its success.Stern Crew

I'd say in terms of single countries. France & Germany did more. England only does more when you include it with Scotland (Britain). If Scotland was not included with England in the graph of Human acomplishment, i think it would drop quite a bit. The Scots were responsible for a lot.
Can't post pictures but the graph reads like
Britain
France
Germany
Italy
If Scotland was seperated i think it'd read more like
France
Germany
Scotland
England
Italy
Graph cheated, by using two countries xD
Being a colonial, and being a fresh off the boat immigrant that America invited over, and slapped citizenship on without even a proper trial (what they did for the Nazi scientist) is not the same thing.
These people were brought up in European countries, taught in Europeans schools, how does America have anything to do with the intellect they brought over?
I'm not against the States, but don't try to pass it off like the rest of the world was primitive before the U.S, because it wasn't.
