One might wonder why Americans are disliked in Europe, especially in Great Britain and France. There are a great many answers to this question. One of them is that after getting disgustingly wealthy out of the World War, the United States has been the tightest kind of a moneylender in regard to the collection of the European debts. This is cause enough for an unfriendly attitude toward the U.S., but something rankles still more. This article presents two anecdotes that best explain this attitude.
