Making all of the worlds most influential music, movies, games, weapons? We invented the largest deterent to traditional warfare, ever. We made that. I don't know how many places down you have to go down in the list of highest grossing international movies before you find one not made in America, but I'm guessing at least dozens if not hundreds. I would be shocked if any of the countries that beat us in those categories are larger than us. Homogenous, historically wealthy small European nations may beat us in a per capita assessment but I don't take those assessments very seriously. They've had every advantage in the course of history.
