How did great britains victory change the balance of power in north america?

Unable to tell if you are referring to The American Revolution or World War 2. The Brits retained the superpower status after the American Revolution and The War of 1812. The United Kingdom lost their superpower status after World War 2 when the US and USSR took the superpower status.


What period did the Soviet Union achieve superpower status?

The Soviet Union achieved superpower status during the mid-20th century, specifically after World War II. Its rise to superpower status was largely due to its military strength, nuclear capabilities, and extensive influence over Eastern Europe and other communist countries through the establishment of the Eastern Bloc.


Why did English spread worldwide in the 20th century?

Because of the largest worldwide empire in the world, the British Empire. After World War II, the United States took over as the world's formost superpower encompassing the United Kingdom even if the United Kingdom is victorious. But the United Kingdom did not lose her status as a superpower.


When did the US become a world superpower?

The US was considered a superpower after World War II, when the European powers declined, partly because of the loss of their colonies to independence movements. The war similarly sparked the advance of the Soviet Union to superpower status, and the Maoist takeover did the same for China. Whether the US currently shares superpower status with China is debatable, but China does not yet have an equal international presence. China (and most of Asia) has benefitted substantially from trade with the United States. The beginning of US worldwide influence dates from the Spanish American War, which brought it the Philippines and increased trade in the Pacific.

Why can it be argued the the status of the US after World War 2 was artificial?

The status of the US on an economical and military scale made it the only world's superpower in 1945. However, that status was an artificial one in that the US' economy and war production powers were based on the geo-political status the US enjoyed. As time would soon reveal, nations such as the Soviet Union would soon become members of the superpowers class of nations. And, prior to WW 2, the UK was the world's top superpower. This was based partly on its worldwide colonies and its navy. In 1945, as a victor in WW 2, there was no clear evidence that the UK would have to give up its "empire". If the Commonwealth had continued, the UK would be a rival to both the US and the USSR.
