The reason the United States is a powerful nation is because we are the only country in the world whose inhabitants are from EVERYWHERE. The belief in each other as citizens of this country to help one another, empowering our children to become citizens of the world. The United States has its heroes, those people willing to work together to make the world a safer place for EVERYONE. Our society was built from the misfits of the world, who wanted to provide a democracy that encompassed every person, which is so stated in our US Constitution.
The United States of America is the leading world power because it made huge profits out of two World Wars, leading to it being able to afford what no other country could afford in the immediate post-war years. Its rise to power started with the nations innumerable Natural Resources which led to rapid industrialization.
United states isn't the super power, it is a binary power meaning U.S and Great Britain are the super power countries combined
because of us participation and victory in wwii, after the war the us emerged as a superpower and world leader.
The US is perhaps the most influential country in the world as it is the only global superpower today. Some countries that are heavily influenced by the US include Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, the Bahamas, and Israel.
World War I affected the US by making it in charge of all other world powers. In other words, the war boasted the country into becoming the world's superpower.
I beleive you mean why ARE the midway islands a territory of the US. Well, from the mid 1800's to 1900, America was an imperialist nation. It was eager to expand. In addition to becoming more involved in foriegn affairs, the US sought colonies. It gained territory in the Carribean and the Pacific through the Spanish-American war. However, Midway was simply declared US territory and has been ever since. No debate, no conflict, no purchase, just it's mine because I want it to be....that's kinda how we are today. Every fight is our fight....every problem is our problem....blah blah blah....why? Because I want it to be! Well, we have a responsibility as a superpower....

The US built it, but was not quite a superpower at the time. The US and USSR became superpowers a few years after the war.
The US turned into a superpower

In the World War 2 period there was no one power that could be called "the World Superpower" so the US did not defeat it. At present some call the US "the World Superpower." Whether that is a valid description or not is a matter of opinion, but even if true it is still not possible for the US to defeat itself so the US has never defeated "the World Superpower."
You mean long term contributed factors of Americas becoming a superpower. Google military-industrial complex. but also as an American its pretty obvious that simply freedom has made us a superpower.
