I find the amount of history butchering in this thread amusing. So the USA, who's history started as a Colony of one of the largest Empires in the middle ages/rennaiscance, and the largest empire known to men, the British Empire, be it by total worlwide area and dominance of the most valuable strategic resource of that time, the sea ; is history's greatest superpower? Ha.

Forgetting the fact that america's "dominance" is more on the economical terms, as it's nowadays financial center of the world, as it was shown in the past months, in which the Lehman Brothers meltdown dragged down most of the world's markets. Also it's the largest in global GDP as well. But that ends there.
Even on military terms the USA pales, in comparison, to the massive army that the British had, as it was the largest Naval force ever known to men, and the biggest infantry known to men is still the Persian army, which had at one point more than 2 million soldiers fighting at the same time, which if you convert to today's population would be an staggering 100+ million soldiers.

So yeah...history is a funny thing that I recommend everyone to do a proper research before doing some claims like these ones that have been said in this thread ;).
