In this episode we discussed about the role of USA in both the world wars also how the great depression was a blessing in disguise for them, additionally how USA was the sole victor in the end. We also tried analysing its route through which it can remain a superpower and its major interest in the world affairs as a peace broker. Most countries are of the thought that imitating USA will make them a superpower too but we tried bursting this bubble. India itself tried imitating soviet union and USA at some point of time but in vain. We concluded by discussing its current agenda of decreasing china's influence in the Indo-pacific region and how groups like QUAD can be US's only chance at curbing China.
