There seems to be a trend today among Americans. He likes England! Back in the 60s, the British invasion meant The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but now Americans, more than ever, are obsessed with England, the English, and English culture.
If you think about the story, the love of an American from England doesn't really make a lot of sense. The United States declared its independence from England in 1776, and both countries fought for eight long years in the War of Independence.
Several decades later, England and the United States clashed again in the War of 1811. So why don't Americans hate England?
After the first fights with England, the Americans and the British became allies. They have fought side by side in World War I, World War II, and in the Middle East. They have been friends, committed to helping each other. So maybe that love of England makes sense after all.
The truth is that Americans are fascinated by English customs. And among the main reasons why Americans love England we have:.
The Accento
There are probably hundreds of accents when speaking in the UK, but the average American cannot tell the difference between them. Americans love to imitate an English accent.
La Reina
The English have royalty! Although democracy is what rules the United States, Americans have always been fascinated by the royal family. We all know that the queen doesn't have any royal power anymore, but for whatever reason, England still keeps her on the throne.
What she does is not a mystery after all, but the dream of many American girls is that one day they meet a real character like…. Get to marry Prince William!
