Sounds like China.
>>398076
>Ended the use of slaves
U wot.
Also, America only got to be all those things because it was functionally alone in a massive continent full of resources. It's not a virtue of the people so much as the place they found themselves in.
Europe was filled with historically hostile factions fighting over pre-depleted resources. Of course they weren't going to succeed on the same level as people stealing the entire new world from sickly savages.

Lol, no.
>saved the world in two different wars
>born out of rebellion
You can thank France for that having worked.
>instituted a form of democracy and capitalism that would be emulated worldwide
Not really. Capitalism is Dutch/British, and you'll note that nobody today uses indirect census suffrage like the US did, and which is essentially the same thing Britain had, instead everybody follows French style democracy.
>ended the use of slaves
America was the Western country that kept using slaves for the longest time, almost a century longer than Britain.
>pioneered science, engineering, and mathematics
Pretty sure those things have existed longer than America.
>kickstarted worldwide modernization due to two industrial revolutions
The Industrial Revolution started in Britain.
>helped develop central america and south america with things like the panama canal
lol, should ask Latin Americans what they think about that. More like kept the continent enslaved to American corporations.
>saved the world in two different wars
Irrelevant in the first, only relevant in stopping the Russians from getting all of Germany in WW2.
>became a beacon of culture through entertainment, science, fashion, and city-planning
I'll give you entertainment. In science you're about on par with Europe. Fashion, just lol. No idea what you even mean by city-planning.
America is the shounen hero of countries

You are referring to Britain I assume?
>>398076
>born out of rebellion
Qin dynasty was born from a rebellion against the Zhou dynasty and it's various client states
Han dynasty was born from a rebellion against the Qin dynasty
Tang dynasty was born from a rebellion against the Sui dynasty
Ming dynasty was born from a rebellion against the Yuan dynasty
Qing dynasty was born from a rebellion against the Ming dynasty
Modern China was born from a rebellion against the Qing dynasty and then the Republic of China government
>instituted a form of democracy and capitalism that would be emulated worldwide
Mandate of Heaven is proto-capitalism
Chinese people literally invented the banknote
The Silk Road trade route was built up by China, and the East Asian sea trade route as well.
>ended the use of slaves
Wang Mang abolished slavery in 9 AD.
>pioneered science, engineering, and mathematics

>helped develop central america and south america with things like the panama canal
China's investing heavily into south America right now and Brazil's economy is being carried by China
>saved the world in two different wars
China sent thousands of labourers to Britain and France during WW1 because Brits and Franks had a manpower shortage. Those Chinese labourers helped worked railways delivering supplies and building military fortifications which save their arses when going up against German advancements.
China during WW2 took on the full might of the Japanese empire and bogged down the Japanese army long enough for Americans to fuck shit up in Normandy and build the atomic bomb.
>became a beacon of culture through entertainment, science, fashion, and city-planning
Again, most of East Asian traditional fashion, architecture, culture, philosophy, science and entertainment can be traced back to China.
And some of Southeast and Central Asia was too influenced by China.

>Mandate of Heaven is proto-capitalism
Fuck. I meant proto-democracy
>>398076
>born out if rebellion
Pretty much yes but not a just one.
>instituted a form of democracy and capitalism emulated throughout the world.
DEFIANTLY not, the USA doesn't implant its particular version of democracy into any nations because its overly complicated and flawed. Also the capitalist mostly used today was derived from Dutch capitalism including the USA's version
>ended the use of slaves
Only After pretty much all of Europe and had a civil war about it.
>pioneered in science maths and engineering
Nope, Europe industrialised long before the USA did and the enlightenment also was European.
>kicked off world wide modernisation.
Not even close again Europe industrialised long before the USA which was a backwater country until the late 1800's
>helped modernise central and south America and built Panama canal
No you want to war with the Spaniards down there multiple times for manifest destiny. Also Suez canal?
>saved the world from two different wars
No not in the slightest.
>became beacon of culture and other shit.
China, Japan, Britain, France, Spain, India

That's the kind of threads you could see on /int/ guys, come on (I'm not OP)
>>398076
>ended the use of slaves
You realize most of the rest of the civilized world had banned slavery by the time you guys finally got around to it, right?
Shit, even Canada had done it already, and they weren't even an independent country yet.
America took an embarrassingly long time to stop having slaves.
>>398482
Well, if they were the last ones to do so, one could say they "ended" it. Of course they didn't though because there are still slaves around, how many depending on the definition of slavery one uses.
>>398156
Lolwut, the dutch easily had that one.
America is practically the only nation to ever successfully rule the world so all those feelgood achievements don't really matter, OP. Cultural hegemony, economical and military might do.
Pax Americana.

That's obviously trolling. With an action figure. All of that is also related to France, except the things about central and south America. Needless is to say that colonization had a huge impact in the growth of civilization in colonized regions. Did USA ever colonized any region?

They also un-colonized Japan and Vietnam.

Looks like a shittier version of Iceland. Give me a call when you beat the might of the British navy with a few fishing boats (twice!), forcing them into submitting to your rule of the northern sea, or when you've established an anarcho-capitalistic society.

ehhhhhh I don't really agree. While the japanese had 1 mirrion troops tied up in China I remember that alot of the veterans were shipped out to the Pacific. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?
