What was an important event that happened to make the US a great world power?

Answer 1

Although the US entered WW 1 in its latter stages, US troops and its airforce rose to meet world power standards. Prior to its entry into the war, the US's aid to the Western allies displayed some of its economic potential as well.

Answer 2

I think the most important events that helped secure the US as a great world power was one, the Monroe Doctrine, and two, the Manifest destiny. The monroe doctrine stated that no countries south of the US shoud intervene with one another. The manifest destiny was an add on stating if one country owed Another Country then they should let the US take care of it.
