I feel like that's a broad and general comparison. It would be equal to ask that of the UK during the height of their reach.

To do any real comparison you need to isolate something quantifiable. For example, languages. Latin influence is real and measurable. English is derivative from Germanic languages and was borrowed, and we didn't really export English...the UK did that. Why is Spanish one of the more commonly spoken Latin languages? The spanish crown was real good at that whole conquest thing, with the germs and the horses and the etc.

America? We influence geopolitics thats for sure.
