How did the us become a world superpower?

Answer:
The USA became a superpower in World War 2 when it was able to demonstrate its ability to protect itself, help others to eliminate the enemies of the world and when many of its armaments had superiority and supremacy. As the Cold War with the USSR progressed, the USA was able to achieve more superiority. It still has military superiority, but is no longer the only superpower in the economic realm.
