The USSR's complete control over the economies and militaries of these nations led it to become a superpower. The USSR would retain its status as a superpower to the late 80's/early 90's until economic and social reforms brought about its demise. (A topic that would require a lot of explaining) And that leaves the US. America would come out of WW2 virtually unscathed. There was never a credible threat of invasion of mainland United States, nor was there any large scale bombings or destruction of industry or infrastructure.
