because of us participation and victory in wwii, after the war the us emerged as a superpower and world leader.
The US is perhaps the most influential country in the world as it is the only global superpower today. Some countries that are heavily influenced by the US include Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, the Bahamas, and Israel.
World War I affected the US by making it in charge of all other world powers. In other words, the war boasted the country into becoming the world's superpower.
I beleive you mean why ARE the midway islands a territory of the US. Well, from the mid 1800's to 1900, America was an imperialist nation. It was eager to expand. In addition to becoming more involved in foriegn affairs, the US sought colonies. It gained territory in the Carribean and the Pacific through the Spanish-American war. However, Midway was simply declared US territory and has been ever since. No debate, no conflict, no purchase, just it's mine because I want it to be....that's kinda how we are today. Every fight is our fight....every problem is our problem....blah blah blah....why? Because I want it to be! Well, we have a responsibility as a superpower....
No the us is not sinking

The US built it, but was not quite a superpower at the time. The US and USSR became superpowers a few years after the war.
The US turned into a superpower
The US grew greatly in global influence in the 19th century and became a superpower in the 20th century. The US is still a superpower in the 21st century.
After the Cold War, the United States emerged as the world's leading superpower. Even as a superpower, the US cannot enforce all of its policies on the rest of the countries in the world.
US and USSR
Make love, not war. Is the USA really a superpower? It should have twice of its current military power to be considered a superpower, taking on account that......

In the World War 2 period there was no one power that could be called "the World Superpower" so the US did not defeat it. At present some call the US "the World Superpower." Whether that is a valid description or not is a matter of opinion, but even if true it is still not possible for the US to defeat itself so the US has never defeated "the World Superpower."
You mean long term contributed factors of Americas becoming a superpower. Google military-industrial complex. but also as an American its pretty obvious that simply freedom has made us a superpower.
