Once Bretton Woods was signed, that was the downfall of the UK as an empire.

That is just so wrong. You do know they still needed to cosy up to the British by Civil War times, right?

sorry man, but in 1960 uk already being bullied by usa and soviet in suez canal crisis
Right after WW1 the writing was already on the wall for every European Empire. WW2 just ensured that most colonies would break away within a few decades. You can argue that during the American Civil War, the US temporarily surpassed the UK in military power and potential manufacturing, but after the war, militarily at least the US cut their military to a level they really were not a threat to the Empire.

The US peaked right at the end of the cold war, it had unsustainable spending to bankrupt the Soviet Union, and ultimately ended up bankrupting itself when it decided to outsource it's technology and manufacturing capacity overseas. Europe has followed that trend which limits any nation rising to be competitive to the third world, so Asia will be the major players for a few decades until they fall into the same trap of losing manufacturing.
