The Western world was led by [[England]] (see [[British Empire]]) until the ascendancy of the [[United States of America]].

However this term is not exclusively used to refer to [[anglophone]] nations nor is it used to refer to countries aligned on the western side on a standard [[world map]]. European nations such as [[France]], [[Germany]] and [[Poland]] are counted as "Western" states whereas some countries in [[~~South America]], such as [[Peru]] and [[Chile]], are not. [[Russia]] is a~~ Western ~~country but it created its own flank within the West.~~

~~In the United States, the term is often used to identify films and [[television]] programs set in the western states from c. 1860 to 1910.~~
