Why is America so dominant over other countries?

The United States became a power just as Britain's empire was declining. France never really had an empire in recent times. China was, and is, too sprawled out to really be an effective superpower. Also, the US was at one time really a "melting pot", and many really intelligent people migrated here, giving the US a huge advantage in superior intellects from other countries. Eventually, the US became one of the two major superpowers, with Russia. When Russia collapsed, the US then became the only real superpower in the world. In the future, once they consolidate and reach some of the outer provinces, I can see China becoming a true superpower, but for now, the US is the only one.

Actually America is not that dominant over other countries. Most foreigners laugh at the arrogance of Americans who think that they are oh so superior to the rest of the world. It is a well known fact that these Americans are a bunch of lily livered sycophants who believe that they have freedoms cos their stupid government told them so. Ha ha. The USA constitution is not worth the paper it is written on and its so called democracy is littered with statutes that define its freedoms such as the dumb patriot act. Americans think that they are doing the world a favour whereas in actual fact it is the single biggest consumer of the combined world's resources and the world's biggest polluter and quite clearly a warmonger. In short it is a parasite on the planet. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in groups. Dork.

True that most of the countries would be talking German if it weren't for us....but I think Brittain and China are also big world powers I think we just see one angle of news and we perceive that America is the only player in the world

When you got it flaunt it

The USA has it and the rest of the world wants it.

We rule the rest of the world drools

Follow USA or be left behind
