Final post- America as a world influence

I think that the module covered a good range of topics, so it's quite difficult to say what could be added to further the study of the US. I would quite like to have looked more at the US growing as a global influence and superpower throughout the 20th Century. Since 1900, the influence of the US on the rest of the world has grown massively, along with their power. With the growth of consumerism especially after the Second World War many US imports have had a massive impact on much of the Western world, and have hugely influenced their way of life. 

Throughout the 20th the political power and influence United States also grew hugely, again especially during and after the Second World War, and throughout the Cold War. During this time, America took the stage as a global superpower as an opposition to the USSR, and their actions had a huge impact on what would happen next for the countries that were on their side against the Soviet Union. Still, to this day, the actions of the US impact the rest of the world, and as the saying goes, 'when America sneezes the world catches a cold'.
