The American Century – An Imperial World Power in Transformation
The 20th century is regarded as the "American Century", as the USA determined world events on multiple fronts. For example, after the First World War in 1919, when Woodrow Wilson traveled to Europe to implement his ambitious program for a new world peace order; As the victorious Allied power in the Second World War, which split the world into East and West. So, in the Cold War, when the USA upgraded its military hardware with nuclear weapons in a contest of systems and waged bloody proxy wars. This did not remain without consequences in terms of domestic politics: Nationwide protests took place against the war in Vietnam - and coalesced with the goals of the black civil rights movement.
