The power elites in Europe and Japan lost colonies and passed the 
imperial torch to the USA, which allowed them to give back more in 
goods, services, and free time to workers at home; workers in Europe 
and Japan were liberated from the material and ideological weights of 
their respective empires, thus able to better concentrate on fighting 
for their own well-being.
