If your question is, "Why was Britain the most powerful country after World War II?" then the answer is it arguably wasn't. Great Britain sustained substantial damage from German bombing, and suffered immense losses during various engagements with the German War Machine. The country was more substantial damaged and weakened than other world powers, such as the United States of America, or the Soviet Union.
