The US was famous in differnt ways at different times:

1800: The US had just fought and won a battle for independence. Everyone in the country was free and the rest of the world, who were still under Kings, paid attention. Even the lowliest man could become president.

1900: The US was famous for being creative in building things. Whether ships, trains, telephones, whatever, the US seemed to be inventing something every day. Anyone could become rich.

1940+: The US is the largest rich country in the world and has influence over trade and politics everywhere. Also the US generated music and movies that the rest of the world enjoyed as much as the US does.
