By what definition has the US been an "empire"? Or do you mean that figuratively? Either way, World War II did not create an American empire. It created a bipolar world with the USA and its allies on one side and the USSR and its allies on the other. Capitalism vs Communism. Totalitarianism vs Democracy. The US, by default, was left as the only superpower in 1991.

So this kind of thing - the US as the world's lone superpower - can be said to have started only about 16 years ago.

Nothing has gone wrong. Demographics and the spread of capitalistic markets as championed by the United States itself will help the far eastern countries of India and China to the point where it is likely they will become the largest economic powers in the world.

Economic power flows in the direction of large populations especially when the economic rules are becoming more similar.
