    Nope. Belgium isn't a Superpower AFAIAA.

    If it's Britain, it can't be any time post 1945, as it wouldn't be called a superpower. So my guess may have been 30 years too early or any number of years too late, but I don't see anything "sadly" about that.
    But then if it's not Britain I don't see how I was close.

    In which case it can only be modern day US, with China growing rapidly over the Pacific Ocean.

    He didn't say it wasn't Britain.

    No, but he said I wasn't right.
    Which means either the dates were wrong (where I don't understand the "sadly") or the country was wrong (where I don't understand the "close").
