Like another answer says, many Americans originally came from Britain (not Britton).  However, I do not belive all of the Presidents were/are English.

I think the main reason is common language and culture.\n\nAlthough America is a land of immigrants, the founding fathers were British and the English language has become dominant in the UK.  \n\nThe 20th century brought the UK/US closer together where we were allies in 2 world wars and how both countries worked to set up the UN and NATO.  \n\nNow the culture of the 2 countries is inextricably linked primarily through the benefit of a common language.

The short answer is 'No'. I think it is hard to define what you put as "Anglo-American" powers.  Do you mean the West, or specifically England and the United States?  In any event, we must realize that neither the West nor the Islamic world is a monolithic entity.  There are widely varrying strains and currents throughout both.  From a strategic perspective, the US is unrivaled.  From an ideological perspective, there are ongoing shifts toward conservativism and fundementalism in both the West and the Arab world.  These shifts are largely reactionary to the rise of globalism.  Ultimately the historical trend toward openness and integration, driven by a global economy, will overcome zenophobic impulses in both the West and the entire Islamic world.

There are many things that occured during the Treaty of Paris which includes Great Britian recognizing and accepting the security of American independence.  For more information check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Paris_%281783%29 and you will find everything you need.  Good Luck!!!

This is ridiculous.  There have been times when the US has got itself involved in armed conflicts that Britain started (not least two world wars) and also times when Britain has got involved in conflicts at the behest of America.  The two countries are very close allies and the current anti-Americanism in Britain is very worrying.\n\nIf we weren't so closely allied to our great transatlantic ally, I think we would quickly end up being just one state in the United States of Europe, which would be a tragedy.

First, understand the Monroe Doctrine, formulated by President Monroe: that the US is the dominant power in the Americas, and that European powers should not interfere in and dominate the countries in North and South America.\n\nThe Roosevelt Collary is that the US would become a police power in the region, and that the US *would* interfere. It's related to the statement about speaking softly and carrying a big stick.\n\nIt was replaced by FDR, with the Good Neighbor Policy, in 1934.

Same old answer - America seeks to dictate world policy instead of lead.  The stance is always all countries should support americas wars, policies and desires because it is in Americas interest.    Much of the time it is in the worlds interest but Bush simply does not seem to be able to articulate this.\n\nAs Americas influence continues to wain and China and Russia continue to prosper they are learning how to discuss and debate with other countries and are respected for it.  They will therefore grow to have more and more influence as America loses it's influence.\n\nSo yes - maybe Bush is leading america into the boondocks.\n\nAmericas economy is forecast to take another dive shortly and the American leadership needs to start talking to other countries on an equal footing.\n\nIran and Korea are another matter entirely.  Could you contemplate either country getting a nuke and not using it?  That really is a world problem that America/Bush needs to talk to other countries and learn leadership rather than trying to dictate or it could turn nuclear.

I wholeheartedly agree with you mate, I live in England and am of English parents. It seems the United States have set themselves up as the nanny of the world despite the fact they are responsible for some of the worst atrocities outside of of the 3rd Reich. Anyone that doesnt agree with their world view is seen as an enemy of america and therefore a terrorist, saying this your President seems very hardline and I can understand the objections to you having nuclear capabilities at this time.

Without Britain, America's staunchest ally in Europe becomes Poland.\n\nIf Britain were to join the EU, America would be up in arms.\n\nAt the UN, Britain regularly sides with the US, and can help convince other countries who don't like America and wouldn't side with America to at least side with Britain.\n\nSo, in terms of strategic diplomacy and global influence, Britain is very beneficial to America.

Yeah, good question!\nI think to test how much America is influencing the world!\nThe metric system is much easier and much better and its fractions are easily measured.\nSome countries in the Arab Gulf are now using gallons for fuel instead of litres! Although litres are easier.. and using square feet instead of square meters to measure lands, yet the latter is easier.. but seems that the influence is working already on the Arabs in the gulf... so who knows, maybe it'll work on the rest of the world and on that day America will be the World's Empire.

England is a society of tradition, America isn't.

Great Britain was powerful because of their navy. It enforced British imperialism throughout the world, and hence made Britain a superpower. Also, Britian had advanced textiles and technologies. Their air forces and military were very powerful, despite their population's size and geographical limits.\n\nGreat Britain lost almost all its colonies (and a hell of a lot of men) in and in the aftermath of WWII, and WWII also led to the military buildup of the United States Armed Forces, which meant the US Navy was now more powerful, thanks to American industry. Russia, too, recovered from its war slump and (using Lend-Lease weapons and vehicles) built a massive military and economy that allowed it to rival the US.\n\nPlus, nuclear weapons. We and the USSR had them, Britain didn't (not for a while) and that made us superpowers and them our allies. You will find military power often defines "superpower". That and economic power. The UK lacks the geographical resources and population to have a robust economy, and it is not a center of great technological achievement, like Japan. It's military is potent but kept small by a comparatively low budget due to limited resources and the population.
