How did the U.S. emerge from World War Il as a superpower? O. Although the U.S. entered World War II late, it fought in two theatres, providing it with the largest footprint of any country during the war. And because combat did not occur on U.S. soil (with Pearl Harbor the exception), the U.S. emerged relatively unscathed. Growing tensions with the USSR over postwar borders made cetain that the United States would not retreat into isolationism after the war while the development of the atomic bomb cemented its place as the strongest military power on Earth. O. Because the U.S. entered the war late, it was more refreshed than any other country and was therefore able to engage in a swift and powerful offensive against the Nazis. FDR called for an invasion of Normandy within 6 months of joining the war and within less than a year had pushed Hitler's troops back to the Rhine. When American troops marched into Berlin, the Soviets were still defending Russia. Therefore, the U.S. came behind the Germans and saved the Soviet Union from complete distruction. In the meantime, the rapid development of the atomic bomb saved the U.S. from having to island hop and brought a quick end to the war in the Pacific. Through all of this, the U.S. proved it was the most powerful country on Earth. O. The U.S. really didn't achieve superpower status until the end of the war when it dropped atomic bombs on Germany and Japan. But to the surprise of everyone, President Truman also dropped an atomic bomb in Siberia as a warning to the Soviet Union that no one was to mess with the United States of America. O. The U.S. didn't really provide many soldiers for combat during World War II but rather focused on building the machines of war and then leasing them our allies. This meant that the U.S. went through the entire war unscathed and made a lot of money in the process. When the war was over, Britain and the Soviet Union were in the U.S's debt and therefore weak to stop it.
