Well yes. That is why it was respected. America used it's delayed entry to build it's reduction capability. Used that to help win. Then not having exhausted it took advantage.
But while correct. It's a more accurate way of saying the doller was respected. As a strong trade currency other nations could use.
They also fucked up entire Japan economy (and kicked hard several others) with it in Plaza Accords, dollar is a weapon.
Wikipedia disagrees with you. None of the other members of the Plaza Accords had an economic bubble. It blames the massive expansionary monetary and fiscal policies that lead from the Plaza Accords since Japan was now considered a major player in the international monetary system.
I am once again begging liberals to stop treating Wikipedia like it's The Holy Scripture.
Stalking me now?
None of the other member of Plaza Accords was so dependant on trade with US (especially Germany since German Mark was the second currency in question), so while i would maybe agree about others not being kicked that hard, but those accords were aimed specifically at Japan.
