Why not?
The original colonies were wedged in between several different competiting european powers and interests as well. A few lucky breaks managed to get them lots of extra land and resources but take away those breaks and the US could easily have just ended up as only a North America power.
The US needed two World Wars to end up as a hyperpower after all.
And I know exceptions were the Mexican-American War and the Spanish-American War. But that was more the US flexing its muscles in North America and the Pacific.Prior to World War 2 the United States was considered an isolation nation. An isolation nation is one in which doesn't get involved in world affairs or conflict. Right from the start the with George Washington Neutrality proclamation the Untied States was an isolation nation. George Washington felt that the United States did not have adequate military force or a population big enough to go to war. The country remained an isolation nation for many years to follow. It wasn't until the extreme actions of the dictators of the axis powers that the Untied States unleashed its real power.
