>never been important in global history
>superpower
Really makes you think

>>74082009
Isn't the historical consensus that there has only ever been two superpowers, the US and the CCCP.

I thought France, the UK, Spain ect counted as Great powers.

>Superpower is a term used to describe a state with a dominant position, which is characterised by its extensive ability to exert influence or project power on a global scale. This is done through the combined-means of technological, cultural, military and economic strength, as well as diplomatic international relations and soft power influence. Traditionally, superpowers are preeminent among the great powers.

The term was first applied to the British Empire, the United States and the Soviet Union. However, following World War II and the Suez Crisis in 1956, the United Kingdom's status as a superpower was greatly diminished. For the duration of the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union came to be generally regarded as the two remaining superpowers, dominating world affairs. At the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, only the United States appeared to fulfill the criteria of being a world superpower.

Japan BTFO'd everyone else in the region until the end of WWII, all the surrounding Asian countries hate them for a reason

Israel is basically an extension of the US so it can be considered a superpower
