The History Group

"The History Group" is designed to be an open forum to discuss historical events and issues. American History, World History, Ancient History...it's all fair game, and it's an opportunity to learn from one another. After all, it's what you learn AFTER you know it all that really counts!

America as Empire?

A Group Discussion

Is the United States an empire like those of centuries past? Some contend that the United States has indeed entered into an era of Empire--of global hegemony. Do you agree that our own Imperial history has begun? If so, how can we avoid the fate of Athens and Brittania?

United States is not an empire. To build an empire you must have a leader who people will die for. George Bush is no leader and some might even call him a fraud. People see him as tyrant and even his fellow Americans cannot stand him. Alexander the great built an empire and nearly conquered d world.
