Hello, teachers!!
The Europeans and Americans had power and prestige, which made their cultures much more attractive.
----->
I think that power is hegemony, but I am not sure about prestige. Are power and prestige used in the same level? I mean, apples and oranges are in the same level because they are fruit. But power has a broader range, and prestige has a smaller range than power.
Thank you in advance. |

Power = the military strength and influence that a country wields.
Prestige =widespread respect and admiration attracted through a perception of high achievements or quality. |
