The US is the spiritual home of Nazism. The centuries-long attempts to exterminate the Native Americans, slavery, and US isolationism & exceptionalism inspired Hitler. Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh were very useful as well in creating lots of pro-Nazi sentiment.
Europe: creates the transatlantic slave trade, plantation system, European exceptionalism (white man’s burden), gets the ball rolling on the Native American genocide, and invents fascism (Mussolini).
How could the US do this!?!?
Trying to extricate the US’ culpability would be irresponsible, but I feel like your comment is shifting blame away from the fact that it’s one big twisted knot, and Europe is also twisted up in it.

Everything the US learnt, they learnt from the English.

As the kids say, I learned it from you, dad!
