1. The U.S. forced Japan to trade with them. Before that, only the Dutch and the Chinese could.
2. Actually the first nation to do so was Persia, we're both wrong.
3. Actually the Germans only threw the Royal Navy off guard. Britain stayed on top until The War of 1812.
4. Most major inventions came from the U.S. Electricity, Light bulb, Steam Engine, Automobile.
5. Workers Unions and Government backing up of said Unions.
6. The workers of #5 before the industrial revolution.

No nation on earth could compete with the Royal Navy until 1914, hence Pax Britannia where Britain was uncontested for 100 years.
Actually most Major inventions came from the UK, we have a much longer list also we where at the forfront of Science and mathematics even discovering the Atom. I can't be bothered to list them since there is so much, industrial revolution is the main example.
Also so what you opened up Japan, Portugal and the British forced open China which is a bigger feat.
