Question

Is the United States an Empire?

Do you think it is correct to describe the United States as an empire? Discuss with reference to
historical events and examples. Should the U.S. play a less aggressive role in the world, more
aggressive, or have we got it about right? Discuss and explain your thoughts.

Answer 1

An empire could be a sovereign state consisting of many territories and peoples subject to one ruling authority, typically an emperor. The federal of the US has never stated its territories as an empire, however some commentators said it was.
