The correct answer is The U.S. economy grew at a much more rapid rate.
World War I made the US emerge as the main economy on the planet. Trade in industrial and agricultural products expanded with the opening of credits to Allied countries, followed by lending to England, France, and later Germany. US production has made a huge leap in several sectors, notably the war industry, field material and food. The US became the world's largest creditor and by the late 1920s, the country accounted for over 42% of global industrial production. Meanwhile, France, England and Germany together held 28%.
