Of all the World Powers in History, how many were soft like the United States?
I am trying to think of any other World Power in History that was soft like this country. Any World Power I can think of, if any country did something they didn’t like, they would come down like a sledge hammer on that country. Look at China, the country most likely to replace the USA as the next world power. Just let some country do something they don’t like and see what happens. Look at what happen to Taiwan when it tried to declare itself an independent country. i think that world powers are never soft they have to enforce and demonstrate their authority. but as you know, we’re living in the 21st century back in the 19th and even in early 20st century world super powers always tried to gain territory example: Germany invading Poland, then countries declaring war on Germany.
