Why the American dollar is the world currency

Of the many currencies from various countries in the world, only the United States dollar has been recognized and determined as an international currency, the purpose of this international currency is as a means of payment that can be used in almost all countries in the world.

The first reason is history, history is what makes the currency of the United States an international currency, this stems from an agreement made by Bretton Woods in 1944 which obliges countries, such as the United States, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan tied the value of the country's currency with gold, to build the IMF and World Bank. Among the five countries, the United States controlled the world's gold supply at that time. Therefore, the United States began to provide loans to countries experiencing economic crises due to war.

The second reason is that the economic situation in the United States tends to be stable, this has been seen since the second world war, among the many countries in the world, only the United States has a stable economy. After the end of the second world war, the United States currency remained in a stable state, even in 2016, the United States had the largest total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and had a favorable growth.

The third reason is that the politics of the United States of America have a strong influence on the political aspects of other countries, this starts from the victory of the United States in the war that occurred in the second world war. Being a country that wins in a war has made the United States in control from various aspects, one of which is politics.
