Everyone just became very weak 1980's onwards (the decline of the US just wasnt that fast in comparison to the SU).
And now it is the turn for the USA to get weak while everyone else gets stronger.

Cycles everywhere.

The US entered the WW2 late and the war was fought in Europe - where factories were targetted by enemy.  While the US was not in WW2 yet  they had military industrial complex building weapons and ammo for allied forces.  And taking payments in Gold.  At end of war US had most all the gold.  And thus the Bretten Woods agreement - US Dollar was pegged to Gold at $35 an ounce. But the US printed too much paper money, and re-nigged on the Bretten Woods agreement in 1971. US Fucked the world and then talked Saudi Arabia to only sell oil for US Dollars. When you can issue a whole lot of currency out of thin air for free - it is easy to have large military budget. Take goods from rest of world and give them currency freely created and backed by nothing.

US is the most powerful country in the world.  Because they have develop free market economy that allows for great innovation and they have focused in developing a military and scientific structure that has allowed them to prosper in and ever changing world.

[hildacitra]

because US is dominating the world’s economic and political systems. With the strongest military and economy, the United States is capable of global power projection, giving it significant influence worldwide. in addition is natural geographical advantages. Competent and aggressive American policies further capitalize on these advantages and secure the United States in a position of economic, military and political strength.

Oh so the best inventions are the ones that kill and then you try to figure out how to stop the kill ..

So if i want to invent the best way is to design something that kills then someone can come up with something that stops my invention from killing?..

Yes the USA is the best at doing them ideas ..

Also it's very good at making drugs selling them to the rest of the world really cheap but charging their own citizens high prices like way to high ..

Have you seen the state of of this state..

If we are taking about the consequences of the war, then it was because of the fact that the mainland US is pretty much spared the damage of war. Now compare that to what happened in Europe. America was well-off by the end of the war that they can afford to fund the reconstruction of Europe. I believe that was called the Marshall Plan.

The colony in the Philippines was leveled but then again America left after defeating the Japanese so they don't have to see to its reconstruction.

Long story short, America benefited from technological advances invented in it (for example, the oil engine) and retained those advantages by keeping out of the war as long is it was possible to.

The use of the atomic bomb in the second world War was the very factor that made the USA to be feared in the entire world. Aside it's military capabilities,  the USA allies in NATO is one of the reasons why it's such a powerful country .

Because they are the most influential people in the world. In songs, shows, movies, clothes or any trends that will keep other nation to follow them.

I believe that the ultimate weapon or the key to their power is their connections to other countries in the world. The united states of america has been friendly ever since because they really know this time will come where they will need the support of other countries.

The thing about the US that makes it so powerful is it's influence. The influence that it shows the world makes it powerful. Has anybody asked why the English language is one of the most learned language all over the world?

[darkr]

This country has simply millions of the “best heads” – people from all over the world, which got the best education come there, become Americans and raise the States.

They are also patriots, and it is important.

[nuruljadidku]

US has great management of economical country and strong military. they also provides best education for the residents or even people from other countries.

Well in simple terms the International Money is. Guess what? The US Dollar. When the world unites to dump the dollar. It will be the end of US of A.

[kram31]

Do you think that USA is the most powerful country in the world ? they arent the richest country ! they need to make war to make a prosperous country , they need to sell arms and guns just to have that income they need!

[mwaqas533]

America is the biggest stakeholder of this world because they have huge nuclear warheads and have enough military, political and economic status. Also freedom of speech made this country great also. i think the biggest reason is education, because in world top ten universities list 8 are from USA.

[merchantofzeny]

Probably already mentioned but that it avoided the devastation of WWII is a big plus. I don't know much about economics but the adoption of the dollar standard also helped afterwards.

The thing about the US that makes it so powerful is it's influence. The influence that it shows the world makes it powerful. Has anybody asked why the English language is one of the most learned language all over the world?

I think that's the side effect of its dominant position. Had it been, say, Ethiopia, that had that status, then we'll all be commenting in Amharic here. English supplanted French as the global - dare I say - lingua franca.
