AHC: Create the most Americanized world possible

Driftless

Conversely, there are too many of my fellow countrymen that believe that pizza, spaghetti, tacos, sushi, chow mein, hot dogs, hamburgers, et al were invented in the US and stolen by "foreigners". And that's just food culture...
 
This would probably require an earlier and/or more sustained unipolar moment. A Fukuyamist wet dream, the 1990s for 30-40 years. The only way I see that happening is Anglo-American Nazi war style unipolarity or a nuclear war between China and the USSR.
 
Maybe a different Yalta due to worse performance of the USSR leaves everything outside OTL Soviet border in the Western sphere. With no Eastern European satellites and perhaps a republican victory in China due lack of Soviet support could mean a collapse of the USSR in the 60's.

this was my first thought too.... the USSR does worse (maybe no LL?), the UK/US moves further east, and the USSR doesn't get anything beyond it's borders, no Cold War, etc...
 
Have the US take in 40 million extra European immigrants before the 60s and a 100 million more from around the world since. Annex Canada. Have more widespread protections for American IPs. Have Japanese culture never take off as it did OTL.
 
Avoid US entanglement in Indochina. In the early 1960's, before the Vietnam war, the United States were regarded as the shining city on the hill by most young people in western Europe, with JFK as their political hero and the American way of life as something to aspire to, by 1968, less than a decade later, after the USA had become directly engaged in Indochina, most young people had become pretty obviously anti-american, with anti-war protestors chanting "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh" in the streets of European cities and the American way of life became something to be avoided.
