American power worldwide is at its historic zenith.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The United States has been a global power since late in the 19th century.
If the U.S. became the undisputed superpower that it is today, it was primarily because of its technology, whether it is in transportation, agriculture, high-tech industry, medicine, etc.
Through our own hard work and ingenuity, America has spent much of its history as the world's dominant economic power. But our dominance is not pre-ordained - history does not roll along on the wheels of inevitability.
From leading the world into the age of democracy to spearheading the technological revolution, America has always been at the forefront of greatness.
The United States is a superpower whose influence reaches across oceans and beyond borders.
We Americans look at the last 300 years of history, and we basically see a world that's getting better and better. The rule of freedom expands. The economy develops. We have risen to become the world's greatest power.
With the rise of America, the global balance of power shifted away from the old European powers.
America is a powerful country. America is a great country. We have enormous resiliency. Any time we have had our back to the wall, we have come out a winner.
America is exceptional in combining standard great-power realism with extravagant idealism about the country's redemptive role in creating international order.
American power remains today what it was in the Second World War and the Cold War: the greatest force for freedom in the world.
