Pax Americana is about the American military and economic dominance over other nations.

That isn’t written anywhere in the article you linked, and is provably false. Many places in the Middle East, Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia have been either invaded by, ignored by, or coup’d by the US during Pax Americana.
It’s only “peaceful” for US & Friends because a lot of people are dying by American bullets in other places.

Since the mid 20th century, we've seen a decline from some of the the bloodiest times on the planet, to the most peaceful. > Many places in the Middle East, Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia have been either invaded by, ignored by, or coup’d by the US during Pax Americana.
