Louis Delvoie: Economically, militarily and intellectually, the United States has no peers in the world today.
U.S.: The sole superpower

As the Cold War began to take shape in the late 1940s, two countries came to be designated as "superpowers" -- the United States and the Soviet Union. Both were seen as powerful nations, as the leaders of rival military alliances and as present in virtually every corner of the globe. With the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, that all changed. From then on it became common to refer to the United States as "the world's sole superpower."
