Describe how the us became a world power at the turn of the century include countries and years

The US became a world power at the turn of the century string from when the British invaded Northern America.

Explanation:

When the Britishers invaded the Northern America the US got a chance to improve and expand. America also invaded all the land owned by the Native Americans. Also after taking the land from Mexico at another war. Which is still under disputes.

America chose to become a European style Imperial power. It did not stop till there but also stole Hawaii through colonialism. World war I and World war II destroyed Europe and Asia but could not destroy America. And therefore, US became superpower.

since most of current immigration into the u.s., both legal and illegal, is coming from latin america. it would be very difficult to imagine or rationalize a country my fellow citizens are trying desperately to flee into, would pose a threat to my prosperity or freedom. since the u.s. has a long history of intervention, but no record of permanent occupation, i would not feel oppression is the main objective.  

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.
