Exploring the Global Footprint of the American Empire

American Empire on Metaphorician presents an interactive historical map and timeline showing the global influence of the United States through military, political and economic activities from 1900 to today. Instead of using broad claims alone, the tool visualizes where and when the U.S. has maintained military bases, intervened abroad and engaged in political or economic actions that shaped international relations over more than a century.

By combining different types of intervention — such as troop deployments, coups, sanctions and long-term military installations — the resource allows users to see how U.S. foreign policy has evolved and how its presence has spread across regions and decades. Each type of action is categorized and colour-coded, offering a dynamic way to understand the historical patterns of American engagement in the world beyond simple statistics or narrative descriptions.

Overall, this page is useful for educators, students and anyone curious about geopolitics who wants to explore the history of U.S. influence in a visual and data-rich format.
