That's a large question -- I'll address just some broad themes here.
The American Century is a term referring to the period from the mid-20th century forward, a time in history where the United States has served as the main world leader.
The term originated in the 1930s, and became more of a prominent thought in the era of World War II and beyond.
The Depression tested America's leadership in the world. Indeed, the interconnected status of America's economy with the rest of the world meant that the Depression was bound to become a global problem, not just an issue to be dealt with in America. Policies like the New Deal under the Roosevelt Administration became examples of government intervention to address economic crisis.
During World War II, the United States dramatically increased its industrial production capabilities for the war effort. After the war, those capabilities were used to spur production of consumer goods and an interstate highway system was built to add infrastructure necessary for commerce. The United States became the commercial leader of the world.
Militarily, the Cold War shaped American foreign policy from 1945 to 1991, involving the US in a number of proxy wars (that took the place of any larger conflict between the US and the USSR). America also projected its power across the globe via military bases in many strategic locations.
Civil unrest has been a frequent factor in American life during the decades of the American Century. In order to live up to its own promises of liberty and justice for all, the United States has found itself dealing more and more with the implications of how those rights and liberties are to be applied to all persons, regardless of race or gender or other factors. If America wants to be leader of the free world, it must lead by example in these areas.
