Most of the deadliest wars and highest rates of casualities (WWI and WWII) occurred in Europe, rather than the USA, in spite of popular stereotypes on the mass media, with tyrants such as Hitler and Stalin being European.
In comparison, America's recent wars (e.x. Iraq War and Afghanistan War) have been much smaller in comparison.
In regards to mass consumer culture, which exploded after the 1960s economic boom, I'm not honestly sure how America's actually ranks in comparison to that of Britain or other European nations, again in spite of popular stereotypes.
Some people have commented on trivialities such as English or French McDonald's restaurants offering smaller Coca Cola sizes, but even then, it's still fast food, which is why most of these simplistic stereotypes are in actuality, and in the grand scheme of things pretty silly, and themselves more of just a byproduct of childish and anti-intellectual consumerist media rather than anything else.
