Légende
The 1940 Bretton Woods Conference pegged the US Dollar to the British Pound at a favourable rate. However the Pound came under extreme pressure after World War II and was devalued in 1949, leading to other currency devaluations. This was the beginning of the US Dollar becoming the world's dominant currency.
