"America didn't invent global violence, xenophobia, Might Makes Right and White Man's Burden bullshit."
It was always the way of empires going back as far as written history on all continents. England was late into the modern empire building game. The Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch were by then the champions of acquisition and exploitation. In the late 19th century scramble for Africa the Belgians possibly surpassed everyone. The USA were too busy colonising their interior peoples to bother about overseas territories - that came later with taking the Philippines from the Spanish in 1898.
