Report Abuse. Actually the US was a super power BEFORE World War I. It was the reason the UK needed our involvement. They just didn't have that name back then and the US would never have thought of applying it to themselves. The term super power came out of the cold war.It was applied to the US only after the Soviet Union claimed that status. Reporters actually coined the term, I think, to describe the major players in the Cold War. There were only three super powers that I remember: The US, the USSR, and China.o, unlike England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain, Japan and most of the northern nations of Africa, we did not have to spend much money rebuilding. While Hawai'i did suffer some damage, it was mainly to our military infrastructure, not the city itself.
