Positive:
The years following the end of WW2 saw the United States consolidating as a superpower and the emergence of a global actor only equaled by the Soviet Union at the time. Efforts to prevent further conflicts in global scale resulted in the creation of the United Nations. The headquarters of many other multilateral organizations was lead by the US foreign policy that formerly didn't play such an active role
The "Marshal Plan" became a key for reconstruction of the European economies and it saw an emergence of financial institutions that fostered cooperation and development to many countries. This includes the World Bank, International Monetary Fund. This multilateral organisms were key to reconstruction of countries damaged by war.
Negative:
The policy of containment, and later the Cold war generated local conflicts, where famous cases like Vietnam generated a bad image to the World where Us should have not been involved
to prevent the spread of communism, saw the formation of the NATO, that nowadays is seen as an intromission from the US into European politics especially in the sphere of military and defense. Nato generates a huge military budget and relies on American troops when Europeans could be more involved in solving their particular issues and being more autonomous
Don't then they may be not avaliable to have an absolute rule.
In telling the history of the United States and also of the nations of the Western Hemisphere in general, historians have wrestled with the problem of what to call the hemisphere's first inhabitants. Under the mistaken impression he had reached the “Indies,” explorer Christopher Columbus called the people he met “Indians.” This was an error in identification that has persisted for more than five hundred years, for the inhabitants of North and South America had no collective name by which they called themselves.
Historians, anthropologists, and political activists have offered various names, none fully satisfactory. Anthropologists have used “aborigine,” but the term suggests a primitive level of existence inconsistent with the cultural level of many tribes. Another term, “Amerindian,” which combines Columbus's error with the name of another Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci (whose name was the source of “America”), lacks any historical context. Since the 1960s, “Native American” has come into popular favor, though some activists prefer “American Indian.” In the absence of a truly representative term, descriptive references such as “native peoples” or “indigenous peoples,” though vague, avoid European influence. In recent years, some argument has developed over whether to refer to tribes in the singular or plural—Apache or Apaches—with supporters on both sides demanding political correctness.
