The World's Most powerful NationThe United States is widely regarded at present as the strongest nation. The US spends more on its military than the next 20 nations combined.

From the 1950s to the 1990s the US and Soviet Russia were viewed as about equally powerful. During WWI and WWII Germany attempted to establish control of the world, but was beaten back by the combined efforts of many other nations.

In 1900 Great Britain was the world's dominant power, despite having lost its American colonies 125 years earlier. Great Britain would have been the world's dominant power from 1588 to about 1947.

Before 1588 Spain was the world's dominant power. In 1588, while attacking England, much of the Spanish armada was destroyed by a storm.

It is difficult, and often highly contentious, to discern which nation is the most 'powerful'. A variety of metrics may be used and may be given different weights to come to a conclusion, but rarely is any agreement made.

There are different answers depending on economic power, military power, geographic range, technological capabilities, allegiances, etc...

However, most people see the US and China as being among the strongest nations. Russia still has a strong military force despite a weaker economy.

India and China both have good economic potential and also have a very dense population.

Britain and other major powers like Germany, France, and others are also considered to be powerful, but generally not in quite the same league.
