They were the only nation able to intervene militarily worlwide and did so multiple times.

Explanation:

The label "policeman of the world" of the world comes from the fact the USA is the only nation in the world that has troops throughout the planet and is able to use them for regime change. The multiple intervention especially after WWII made that label very relevant. The USA is the only country in human history to have spent most of its history at war.
