I’m trying to figure out when IBM switched to ASCII and when ASCII became a worldwide standard.

Moreover, did IBM make ASCII standard worldwide?

What I have found:

According to Wikipedia, IBM System / 360 had EBCDIC charset. It was an eight-bit character encoding, developed separately from the seven-bit ASCII encoding scheme.

On March 11, 1968, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson mandated that all computers purchased by the United States Federal Government support ASCII:

All computers and related equipment configurations brought into the Federal Government inventory on and after July 1, 1969, must have the capability to use the Standard Code for Information Interchange

Also I have found the following:

operating systems running on the IBM PC and its descendants use ASCII, as did AIX/370 and AIX/390 running on System/370 and System/390 mainframes

Is it safe to say that IBM moved to ASCII starting from System / 370?

If so, is it safe to say that IBM started use ASCII from 1970s?

And if so, is it safe to say that System 370 had many clones, therefore ASCII became popular worldwide?
