Overpopulation occurred during the First Industrial Revolution, but with the improvement of working conditions in the late 1800s, shortening working hours, the situation improved somewhat and the middle class emerged.

By 1900, 38% of the world's wealth was held by the United States. By 1914, the US produced as much coal as Britain and Germany combined, as well as producing over 40% of the world's iron.
But before World War I, the United States tended to take an isolationist stance toward other nations. World War I advanced the US into superpower status as a nation that used its industrial might to involve itself in global affairs.
