It is clear that the American hegemony obsession began during the reign of the third president of the United States (Thomas Jefferson), when he preached the birth of a new empire, where justice, freedom, and equality would spread on earth, and the oppressed would be confronted.
Due to the conflict between America and the former Soviet Union, America worked to impose its hegemony on the Western world, after World War II, and on the Third World through economic and political projects, especially the "Freedom Wave" project, which aimed at cause revolutions in non-dominated countries.
The fall of the Eastern Bloc, after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, caused an intellectual revolution within Western institutions. So, several statements, which related to the idea of "the end", have emerged, and the most famous of which is the statement "the end of history" that essentially justifies American hegemony, the expansion of the field of liberal democratization, and the transformation of the world into a liberal market, where the development of society ends at a point called the "global market society". This hegemony "was aimed at Americanizing the world, and controlling it through "soft power".
