Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

    Was WWII the US’s fault? No it wasn’t.

    Hitler was heavily inspired by American treatment of Native Americans and black people. Although not completely, he thought the one drop rule was a little too much.

      Yes and eugenics was horrible. But are you saying the entirety of Nazi Germany is the majority the fault of the US? That’s even more of a stretch than just following orders.

      Edit: solely to majority to better reflect the question

          I assumed the question meant majority fault, since that’s what I mean when I say something is someone’s fault. Sorry for the sloppy wording. Majority share of fault.

            Majority of fault is pretty hard to measure for this kind of thing but they were a significant inspiration for the Nazis which is enough fault for me
