From my viewpoint, that starts from WWII on.

Well, technically, the American Empire truly started with the Monroe Doctrine, which gave the government the right to fight any other colonists in South America. The first real references to an "American Empire" date from around the time of the Mexican-American War. Hell, Theodore Roosevelt, who I've praised elsewhere for his sheer manliness, was an ardent imperialist.

Of course, the modern age of American imperialism started with WW2.
