ENGLAND
In today's world, it's a nation that possess's nuclear weapons (and has the capacity to use them-a delivery system). Prior to nukes, a super-power had battleships (and lot's of them). Large Armies were not indications of a superpower...any large body of men armed with sticks constituted an Army; and such an Army would not be construed to be a superpower...by any stretch of the imagination. But it takes money (and lot's of it), and technology to build a battleship (and lot's of them); more so than any other type of war machinery. Therefore, if a nation had the money & technology to build a fleet of battleships; they were a superpower. Today: If a nation has the money & technology to build a lot of atomic weapons AND the delivery systems that go with those weapons, they're a superpower.
The US Government focused the nation's economic resources primarily on the war efforts.
The Unied States
By the end of World War Two, the US had displayed the ability to fight successfully on two major fronts and had the technology for the atomic bomb. One can also note that its geographical position helped to foster this situation. The US geographical position at that time also created within the US an economic advantage no other nation had. Because of the lack of world wide technology, the two major oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic, afforded the US with these advantages,to emerge from the war as superpower.
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.
No they did not they had an economic downturn.
