Well, we do live in the age of technology, so even if the US wasn't the most powerful country now and say Mexico was, then mexico would be the most powerful country of all time.
As for the why, it is very remote so not many enemies could hit it in any meaningful way, it hasa almost unlimited resources and there was a massive brain drain in the 20th century which helped US, since most of the "brains" went there.

It's the most populous developed nation and a product of the European ages of exploration and imperialism. There's nothing magic about it.

two world wars that were not on US soil. all the other major powers were killed. Leaving the industrialized and untouched US to fill in the power vacuum.

WWI, WWII and the process of decolonisation left the USA, Russia and China as the only remaining Empires. If the EU can finally get its act together and become single federated nation then it'll shit all over them but I doubt that'll happen
