China, because their economy, production, eco-awareness, and quality of life is getting better and better by the year. It's despicable now, but by 2050 I forsee great improvement.

China...

Well, they have over 1 billion citizens...if you manage to modernize the country, you would have quite a large work force.

China or India.

I'm not sure which one, they are both gaining power massively and I tihnk I read something a while ago about India eventually overtaking China, but not sure when.

China has massive potential.. 1 billion citizens gives them a huge advantage.

The British have been in a 100 year depression ever since the World War. But they're coming out of it now.

You're probably going to have 3 entities with about the same amount of power: The West, China, and India.

either America, or there wont be a superpower. there needs to be a major catalyzing event, such as a world war, to catapult someone into the status of being a superpower.

Actually it's more like 2-3 dollars a day. Like I said, it is despicable right now but by 2050 they might have a chance at becoming a superpower if their improvement continues.

It all depends on who adapts the best. By 2050, the Earth will have pretty much ran out of oil, forcing countries to find alternative sources of energy. So who ever finds the best source of energy will be the next superpower.

Africa, China, or the USA(computer race)

I came across a rumor that China is investing a lot in Africa... and if China and Africa merge... we be F***ED, v**gr* hard.

China is also a big ass country and if they get moving, well... yeah... they also get a lot of our older computers (poor computers), PSUs, and other items. Most everything is made in China, China is full of hackers and spys, etc.

The USA could either turn into a second civil war by 2050 with the way things are going, or turn into a technology power house, possibly all out A.I.?

Europe is too F***ed up to mention...

Yo LJ, I'm not so sure. A large scale war is what sent the British empire hurdling backwards. Plus you have the rise of Communist China to contend with.

lol... are you serious? getting two countries in africa to merge would be pretty much impossible, not to mention getting more than 50 countries to merge, then merge with another country which shares no borders. NEVER going to happen. thats crazy. I doubt there will be a second civil war in america, either. The lines are no longer divided by location, but instead by ideals. However, Civil war is to nobody's benefit. In short, no disrespect, but nothing you said has a shred of a chance of happening besides China becoming the next super power alone. (thats what I think will happen)

edit: 54, not almost 100 >.

I would say several of them, maybe US, EU, and China. If there are more than 2, then we will probably find ourselves in a 1984 Situation, one that could be as bad as the Cold War, or much worse...

China

simply because japan and korea have nowhere to expand unless they take over another country. USA and Europe seem too much like peacekeepers. China has nowhere to go but up.

im from the US, but only because I was born here, hell I think bush is the worst leader ever!

Due to the treaty after WWII Japan cant have a full scale army, only a defense force. The US is responsible for its protection.

for those of you saying China, keep in mind that they have had the one child per family policy for some time now, the current generation will soon be paying for 2 parents and 4 grandparents after they stop working, china will get old before it gets rich, i think this could be a major roadblock in their economic progress, India on the other hand has a median age of about 25, i dont see the usa going anywhere anytime soon, but i think india will handily beat china

Damn the U.S.A. needs to step up its pace and sabotage a war between China and India and then step in when everythings over to recalim its title as world power! Oh and Russia will get some power too I mean its only fair since it borders China.
