American Empire

The American Empire refers to the global influence and power the United States exerts through economic, military, political, and cultural means. It involves maintaining military bases worldwide, shaping international institutions, and exporting American values and products. While not an empire in the traditional territorial sense, it significantly impacts global affairs and geopolitics. The concept highlights how the U.S. leverages its strength to influence international stability, security, and economic systems, often prompting debates about the nature of modern imperialism and America's role on the world stage.
