Obviously. But after WWII they had way too much to do with it. That's why the US hasn't won a war since 1945.
Just last night, I was watching Ken Burns "The War". Lots of U boats off the east coast of the US in 1942 blasting oil tanker ships at night using the NYC's lights to silhouette the tankers. It took about 5 months for the city officials to black out the city because they didn't want to scare away tourists. The beaches were covered with oil according to the accounts.
Things may not have been as different as you think back then.
