Yes. Before the war, the U.S. was a world power but the superpower of the time was arguably Great Britain with a global empire upon which "the sun never set." Of all the combatants in World War II, the U.S. suffered little or no war damage (apart from a Japanese balloon attack in the Pacific Northweat which did little damage). Hawaii was not yet a state so the Pearl Harbor attack doesn't "count." The only American territory occupied by a foreign army was an island in the Aleutians, which the Japanese seized hoping to lure the American fleet north. The U.S. didn't take the bait but let the Japanese have the island (which was ultimately recaptured). With the country intact and the economy thriving, the U.S. emerged as the dominant postwar power. And for a time, it enjoyed a nuclear monopoly, giving it extra clout. Britain, on the other hand, had been devastated by constant air attacks, and after the war it was a shadow of its former self as its vast empire began to disintegrate.
Absolutely, the U.S emerged with political and military power due to the use of the atomic bomb and our entry into the League of Nations. With Nazi Germany's defeat, Japan devastated, and Italy subdued, the U.S, France, Britain, and the Soviet Union emerged as leaders of the free world.
Its industrial capacity outmatched that of every other country almost combined. It suffered some of the fewest casualties and saw most of the heaviest engagements. Its technology along with it being the first and only country for the next 4 years to build an atomic bomb. Its navy was the largest in the world (still is) and it maintained a military force of just about 18 million

It is a country which has the power to make war yet chooses to remain neutral; taking no side in the conflict. Holland was a neutral power in World War 1. Belgium began the war as a neutral power but joined the Allies after its neutrality was violated by Germany.
The US emerged as a world power in world war 1 first when its economy outgrew that of the other nations due to peace within its borders before entering the war. It happened again when its entry into the war caused a speedy conclusion and victory for the Allies.
