The world will be conquered by people with poor spelling and
grammar? Heh. You do not have history to "back", considering that American
society is still young in comparison with the others you mention. The
known world has gotten progressively larger during the course of each of
those 'world domination periods'. The US has not lost a international war
with any battles fought on its own soil. (war of 1812 being considered a
draw, WW2 being considered a victory). In fact, the US is also very aware
that they are not the only country in it, which is especially evident in
how American corporations have a near controlling interest in the majority
of countries across the world. Don't forget, there is a McDonalds in
Pushkin Square in Moscow, and 303 McDonalds in China.
It seems to be chic to attack American society these days, when
in reality, if a society has to be on the top of the pile, I would far
prefer it to be American over Chinese/Russian Communism. That's not
Ameri-centricism, thats just me enjoying my human rights and personal
freedoms.
