The answer to that question is too long for this space, but the key to the US emerging as a world power begins with their quick victory in the Spanish American War (late 1800s), and subsequent victories in World War I (though we entered that war towards the end), and more importantly World War II (with the US Navy recovering from disaster at Pearl Harbor, quickly rebuilding its fleet, subsequent victories in the Pacific, massive resources and materials during wartime production, technological superiority during the war, and of course the development of the Atomic Bomb).
