@louislemar796 Nationalism is NOT the theory that a society needs a nation state
Yes it is. Or rather, it is one form of nationalism. There are multiple. At it's most basic, a belief in the value of nation-states is nationalist, as is the desire to create or uphold one. One cannot desire to create a nation-state without being a variety of nationalist.
I disagree entirely, If Iceland had a set of founding fathers, who held the same ideas and implemented them in the same way then Iceland would be as successful.
Impossible. Iceland does not have the size, location, population, or resources as the USA. The argument is not over whether Iceland would have any success at all. It is that Iceland would not be anywhere near as successful as the USA (because the USA's success depends on more than just a set of ideas). Hong Kong was not unsuccessful. But Hong Kong was/is nowhere near as successful as the USA.
Europe destroying itself was also a massive hindrance to the USA
Not when it came to becoming the world's dominant superpower. The previous holder of that crown was the British Empire, which destroyed itself in two world wars. Had that not happened, the USA would have to contend with a world in which the British were still at least as powerful, if not more so, than them.
