The United States (US) established itself as a great power in the early 20th century. America’s economic dynamism enabled it to become pivotal in both regional and world politics (Brzezinski, 1997: 4). The path was forged through continuous application of US’s growing power; hard and soft alike. America shaped its regional milieu to best serve security and material ends. In the period studied (1898-1918) US foreign policy is characterised by interventionism and the use of military might to further America’s vital interests: security and economic well-being (Art and Waltz, 2004). America also exerted other forms of power. Notably, US gained influence in international diplomacy, swaying global events. To elucidate US’s rise to world-power status, we will focus on specific case-studies, assessing them with the help of the three levels of analysis.

We begin this essay analyzing American economic growth, its sources and its implications for US power and foreign policy. Economic power set the foundations of American power, facilitating leaders to pursue ‘grand’ policies. In this essay we examine how this immense wealth was transformed into great power. Enlightened Presidents and top decision-makers with their visions and strategies were crucial in this crusade to power. McKinley’s shaping of America’s milieu with its positive implications for security and trade were critical starting points. Moreover, Roosevelt’s building of the Panama Canal, his effective defence strategy and his diplomatic achievements were also fundamental. The personal beliefs, values and ideologies of the ruling elite are considered when analyzing these policies. Mahan’s geopolitical suggestions and their influence on policy-making were also decisive (Vevier, 1960: 334). Involvement in WWI established America in a prominent position among world powers. Wilson’s sense of timing, effective planning and successful carrying-out of US participation in WWI propelled America to the top of the world order.

The biggest hurricane to hit the united states was a small storm. why did it cause so much damage ?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
It caused so much damage because the rise in the water causes massive waves to hit the shores near the storm. Overland, the hurricane did a lot of damage, with powerful winds blasting the landscape. Heavy rains from the hurricane's clouds also cause flooding.

Although the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was friendly during the time of World War two, the Soviet Union and the US were allied during World War two, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany. this is because their alliance was essential to defeating Nazi Germany, as the US and Great Britain both needed a strong power at the eastern frontiers of Germany to secure Nazi defeat. At this point in the war, it was beneficial for both the soviet union and the united states to enter into an alliance with each other since the Soviet Union was under attack by the Nazis, and the United States and its allies needed another strong ally.  it seems like both countries had trouble accepting the ideology of the other, as they each had completly different political policies and types of governments, but were trying to attempt accepting each other for the sake of defeating the Nazis and ending the war on the European frontier. This relationship between the two nations, and the shared sacrifices, eventually led to the end of world two in the western frontier as Germany was drained on both fronts. This relationship that was based on benefit would end the war, as the two nations will have different opinions regarding postwar issues.
