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.

The US has the resources and capacity to deafeat any nation on earth. Infact probally any 3 at the same time. Sorry everyboby, im not a yank just a realist, and pacafist if i might add.
It's not practical to list pretty close to every nation on earth that's at war with terrorists. Even Iraq & Afghanistan aren't to comfortable with terrorists. During the actual attack, the US was offered assistance by many nations.

The most powerful country ever would have to be Britain from the middle of the previous millennium to the turn of the 20th century. It's empire was the largest ever to exist on the face of the Earth. Many, most American, people try to claim that the USA is the most powerful nation ever but when you compare the two Nations, there is no comparison. The USA has the potential to blow up a few countries, whereas Britain actually owned 1/3 of the world, in terms of population.
