Top 10 Most Powerful Countries of the World
Since their evolution, human beings have been trying to dominate each other and this war of survival has now involved different countries, regions and federations. Although, the United Nations claims that every country has equal status but still there are few countries that enjoy an upper hand on the basis of economy, technology, military assets etc.
These countries enjoy the status of so called super powers and also misuse their position and influence on other countries, more often than not, launching an attack is an old fashioned way to dominate. The basic aim is to get a grip on the natural resources, spread across the various continents and secure the future for themselves.
