Canada, didn't. Australia, New Zealand, most of Asia didn't. The only longer one that I know of then was Mexico.

If the question is extending copyright from life plus 50 to life plus 100 (to use nice round numbers rather than the precises terms), then yes. But as you say, the US wasn't the first to go to life plus 100. It's more the US ( or more precisely US copyright holders) who jumped on the band wagon than the US driving the wagon.
