US...although, it took the War of 1812 where the Brits burned down DC, then a Civil War, then The Spanish-American War, and suddenly overnight we had Puerto Rico, Guam, the Phillipines, and then we had "control" of the Panama Canal, oh and then there was WWI, and then WWII,
so basically after a few hundred yrs, and few Wars, we became something of a player on the world stage.

quite hard to say as there has been only two superpowers so far in history...  
Do you maybe mean Greatpower, which is a step below a Superpower ?


This sums it up pretty good:

"It was a term first applied in 1944 to the British Empire, the Soviet Union and the United States of America. Following World War II, as the British Empire transformed itself into the Commonwealth and its territories became independent, the Soviet Union and the United States generally came to be regarded as the only two superpowers, and confronted each other in the Cold War."


"A superpower is a state with a dominant position in the international system which has the ability to influence events and its own interests and project power on a worldwide scale to protect those interests. A superpower is traditionally considered to be a step higher than a great power."
