The status of the United States as a global power began around the time of World War I, which was marked by Wilson's "Fourteen Points", which contained the purpose of the United States entering the war and its plan for the postwar world order. On the one hand, the United States took advantage of the ideological legitimacy of the "right to revolution" and "right to development" in the second-generation human rights theory to promote the so-called "democratic revolution" and dismantle the European colonial empire system. On the other hand, the United States distinguishes between political "enemy and me" based on the concept of "free market" in the first generation of human rights theory. That is, any country can be included in the global economic system dominated by the United States as long as its market is open to American capital and it accepts the economic rules pursued by the United States. The United States alternately uses first-generation and second-generation human rights theories to promote human rights diplomacy in conjunction with economic goals, which not only creates convenient conditions for its external expansion, but also further strengthens its cultural hegemony and helps it claim that its own values and political system are superior to others.
