WHY AMERICA IS THE WORLD’s SUPER-POWER?
The United States of America is regarded today as the most powerful nation in the world, but have you ever asked why America is considered the most powerful nation in the world? If it is by population, USA is not the most populous nation in the world; China is. If it is by land mass, USA is not the largest nation in the world; Russia is. If it is by civilization, USA is not the first country in the world to be civilized; Egypt is. If it is by human and natural resources, USA is not the country with the most human and natural resources; Nigeria is (arguably). So then, what makes the United States of America so great and powerful?
www.selectng.com.ng has put this write up together to x-ray the some of the dynamics that surrounded the emergence of the USA as (arguably) the most powerful nation in the world.
The United States of America rose to become the world power during the closing stages of the Second World War when it quietly and secretly developed its nuclear weapons which were used to wipe out the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This not only made Japan to surrender there by bringing to an end the second world war but it equally sent out a strong warning to all the countries in the world; and the fear among the comity of nations that what has happened to Japan might also happen to any nation that openly challenges the USA; and this made America become the strongest super power in world politics. Coupled with massive industrialization, America leveraged on its nuclear power to stamp her giant feet on world politics by maintaining a strong and firm grip on the world’s economy. America became the world police, the big brother of the world, the invisible hand in the economies of almost every nation on the surface of the earth, and the crusader of capitalism. Her influence in the world has grown so much that “Whenever America sneezes, the whole world catches cold”.

Being fully aware of the pillars of her power, America has ensured that other nations (Except a selected few) are prevented from acquiring or developing nuclear weapons. With the forces of her ‘invincible hand’ through her disciples such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), America ensured that other nation’s economies are crippled so that USA continue to flourish. Whether good or bad, America knows the source of her power and they don’t joke with it that’s why they have continued to wax stronger. Other nations such as China, Germany, Britain and France are also good examples of nations that have kept their source of power close to their chests.

The US hold the highest numbers of billionaires (USD) in the world. It has always been the home of capitalism - you get an idea, develop it, patient it and the with the US influnece (everything from the US is always the best), you commercialize and get it to the every corners of the world.

Take for example Google, Ms Office, Amazon, Apple, McDonalds, these brands are widely consumed and available in even the poorest of nations.

But if every countries/continent begin to develop products for its own need, like the Made-In-Aba products and Innoson motors, at a times these US products would gain less relevance in the African continent, and as with less relevance, less influence.
And so the superpower of the US will lose its hold.

But then, have we taken corruption, nepotism, religious fanatism away and think collectively as as proper people should do?

You also missed many other important points.
1) The USA was a lucky nation from the very beginning. Why ?
At the time of the tea tax revolt that initiated the american revolution, and during the American revolution, there was no peace between world powers ( France, Russia, Prussia, UK, Austria). In fact, the French were bitter at the British for what happened during the seven- year wars ( 1756-1763 ) The French lost a lot of territories to the British in that war. That was why they sided with the American patriots .

Had there been any deal between France, Prussia and the UK to crash the Americans on behalf of the British to prevent the New World from being a potential superpower, things would look different in and after 1776 .

2) Education.
American founding fathers were very prudent. People like Hamilton , James Madison etc. read many books from around the world, about the rise and fall of empires and took their time to pinpoint what could cause a state or a revolution to fail its people..
Many American Founding Fathers spoke several languages. It enable them to read a lot.
John Adams spoke three languages,
Thomas Jefferson spoke five languages in addition to English
James Maddison spoke at least three languages.

3) The constitution, Transparency, accountability and the Rule of law.
There is a reference the people ( including the military ) abide by in America. It is the constitution.
That document cannot be modified by any corrupt congress at the will of crooked politicians or by any president who who wants to be president for life. The amendment requires a lot of criteria.
There is stability in America ( no military coup, no president hanging to power by all means, etc), this creates a feeling of safety and allows people to invest their time in things to the best of their abilities.
