American Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | American Empire, and related phrases such as U.S. hegemony, etc., are terms sometimes used to describe the historical expansionism and the current political, economic, and cultural influence of the United States on a global scale. |
 | | In another sense, the U.S. is indisputably an empire, because it possesses sovereignty over territories which it has not annexed as states, such as the Puerto Rico and American Samoa, and in the past the Philippines and Guam. |
