It wasn't. It was built by and with the cooperation of several nations.
U.S. built the unity. Japan works with NASA. Canada built the 55-foot long robotic arm. Lastly,Russia built the two search molecues with life support. This is how these countries were in volved in the International Space Station{ISS}.
The International Space Station (or ISS for short) is like a puzzle or legos. It is put together, 1 piece at a time. In all, there are 100 major peices that the ISS is built of. The ISS is expected to be finished in 2011.
The International Space Station, or ISS, has been assembled in orbit from parts built here on Earth. The first segments of the ISS were launched into space in 1998, with other parts being added by several Space Shuttle missions. The ISS is not yet complete, and more parts are still under construction.
The building of the International Space Station started in November 1998, and should be completed in 2011.

The International Space Station (ISS) was built by multiple space agencies working together, including NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). Construction of the ISS began in 1998 and involved numerous space missions to assemble the various modules in orbit.

The ISS was built by placing several modules into LEO (Low Earth Orbit) by member countries - US, Russia, Japan, and 10 European Countries (as ESA). These modules were assembled in space to realise the ISS. No rocket would have been able to transport that mass of payload at once into orbit. Modules are still being added until its final completion in 2010.
The International Space Station was created by multiple countries. The first modules were built and launched by Russia. Most of the ISS modules and other components were built and launched by the United States. Russia built the 2nd largest percentage of the ISS followed by Japan, Europe, Canada, Italy and Brazil which built the smallest percentage. Most modules were brought to the International Space Station by space shuttle missions. The remainder to launched by Russian rockets. The European Space Agency and also launches resupply missions to the ISS.

6 people can live in the ISS when it is fully built
No one truly "owns" the ISS, but 6 different space agencies work on the ISS
The ISS is as big as a football field
