In the years after WW 2. The period lasted until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
At the same time, two nations rose to superpower status: the United States and the Soviet Union.
The US was considered a superpower after World War II, when the European powers declined, partly because of the loss of their colonies to independence movements. The war similarly sparked the advance of the Soviet Union to superpower status, and the Maoist takeover did the same for China. Whether the US currently shares superpower status with China is debatable, but China does not yet have an equal international presence. China (and most of Asia) has benefitted substantially from trade with the United States. The beginning of US worldwide influence dates from the Spanish American War, which brought it the Philippines and increased trade in the Pacific.
Unable to tell if you are referring to The American Revolution or World War 2. The Brits retained the superpower status after the American Revolution and The War of 1812. The United Kingdom lost their superpower status after World War 2 when the US and USSR took the superpower status.
In short, no. Classless society, in it's ultimate version would mean no divisions on the basis of economic status, which certainly wasn't the case in the USSR.
The answer would have to be France, the Habsburg empires of Spain and Austria, and the Ottoman Empire. Britain was on the rise, but - just as in the case of Russia - would reach superpower status only at the end of the Napoleontic period.

After World War II, the primary superpowers were the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S. emerged with significant economic strength and military capabilities, promoting capitalism and democracy. In contrast, the Soviet Union expanded its influence through communism, leading to a bipolar world during the Cold War. Other nations, such as the United Kingdom and China, had considerable influence but did not achieve the same superpower status as the U.S. and the USSR.

It was the war that put an end to Nazi Germany and the Japanese Empire, but also the conflict that boosted the Soviet Union and the US to superpower status. Another boost was the massive undertaking on the part of the US workforce that finally put the American economy out of the Great Depression.
The status of the US on an economical and military scale made it the only world's superpower in 1945. However, that status was an artificial one in that the US' economy and war production powers were based on the geo-political status the US enjoyed. As time would soon reveal, nations such as the Soviet Union would soon become members of the superpowers class of nations. And, prior to WW 2, the UK was the world's top superpower. This was based partly on its worldwide colonies and its navy. In 1945, as a victor in WW 2, there was no clear evidence that the UK would have to give up its "empire". If the Commonwealth had continued, the UK would be a rival to both the US and the USSR.

In his February 1946 speech, Joseph Stalin referred to "Soviet victory" as a celebration of the USSR's triumph in World War II, which he portrayed as a testament to the strength and resilience of the Soviet people and system. This phrase also served to emphasize the USSR's newfound status as a global superpower and its role in shaping post-war Europe. By framing the Soviet victory in this way, Stalin aimed to solidify national pride and legitimize the Communist regime, while also justifying the expansion of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe.
To achieve star status, a site must have key program elements in place for at least one year, demonstrating consistency and quality over an extended period of time. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the site's performance and impact, ensuring that it meets the necessary criteria for star status.
It is likely due mostly to the colonisation and superpower status of these Asian nations by the British Empire.
