Many people cite the ending of World War II as the leading circumstances of the new American imperialism. The end of this war, left the United States, fully intact and it did not have its homeland destroyed as many other nations did. Thus the USA had a distinct advantage with its economy in comparison to the other participants of the war.
So, by default, the USA had become the major power in the world. This was enhanced by Western Europe's fear of Soviet expansion into Eastern Europe.
Because of this, many countries were happy to have USA military bases in many nations world wide. This increased the USA's sphere of influence worldwide.
In addition to the above, the new American imperialism has displayed itself in other ways:
A. The USA's defense industries are the largest arms supplier in the world. This places many of the USA's friends & allies in a position of depending upon US made warplanes and other types of weapons; and
B. On a cultural basis, the numerous worldwide US Military bases, along with the world's seemingly insatiable desire for Hollywood films has had a cultural impact on many nations. From the birth of rock n' roll to bluejeans, America's cultural imperialism has affected the world. As an aside, Hollywood makes more money in its overseas films than it does domestically.
