MUST READ: How USA Became The Only Super Power Of The World? by brizzyng(m): 11:58pm On Apr 21, 2016 |
The period after the end of the Second World War saw the emergence of the United States as the pre-eminent military and economic power in the world. Every part of the world came under the purview of US interests. The US also viewed herself as a great “moral force” in the world. Many Americans liked to think that the period in which they were living could quite legitimately be described as the “American Century”.
