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.

Why is the midway islands a territory of the us?

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....


How did the United States become important in world affairs?

America's rise to world-power status came in three stages: 1-As the newly emerged industrial giant in 1880-1910, American steel, grains, and crude oil output matched and exceeded that of Germany and England, enabling the United States to expand it's military. America's overwhelming and easy victory in the Spanish-American War forced the Europeans to consider the U.S. as equals. 2-The French and British armies had collapsed in WW1, and only American military might and industrial strength saved them from surrender in 1917. The world's post WW1 economy was dominated by the United States as the Europeans tried to rebuild their war-shattered economies and infrastructures. 3-WW2. Very simply, the United States industrial strength armed the world against the Germans and Japanese, and the subsequent Marshall Plan and it's equivalent in Japan cemented America's status as a superpower.

How did the us defeat the axis powers in World War 2?

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."
