      Americans born in the 40s and 50s had such a gilded path set out before them by WW2, and now they think that young people can’t afford homes because of starbucks and avocado toast.

      The British did ok after the second Boer War.

      The empire of Japan did fairly well after the Russo-Japanese War in 1905.

      The empire of Japan also did great after WW1 come to think of it.

      The states did enjoy the Spanish–American war result.

      Really kinda requires a strange mind or a willfully ignorant one to not recognize that wars often have winners and that is a reason they keep happening.
