Contradiction[edit]

The opening section says: “Various individuals or regimes have tried to achieve this goal throughout history, without ever attaining it.”

The opening section of American Century characterizes “the period since the middle of the 20th century as being largely dominated by the United States in political, economic, and cultural terms… The United States' influence grew throughout the 20th century, but became especially dominant after the end of World War II… After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United States remained the world's only superpower, and became the hegemon..." (emphases added).

In the matter of world domination Wikipedia disagrees with itself. Combined, the two sections are in perfect contradiction.--Maxaxax (talk) 01:06, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the opening of "American Century" does not "characterize" the period as that, but defines the phrase as one that makes such a characterization. bd2412 T 02:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

British "Empire" in 1921[edit]

The assertion that in 1921 the British Empire controlled territory on each continent is a jingoistic stretch. I suppose British people still wrote the law in some places outside of Britain, but to say they controlled Canada or Australia is fanciful. By 1921, those places had already run their own affairs for a long time. Aboctok (talk) 23:28, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
