Some would say the decline of Europe started in the 1940s, about the same time as America started to dominate. I wonder why???

The US was the only major power to emerge from WWII with its infrastructure and economy intact..

The decline in Europe started with the spread of democratic socialism at the beginning of the 19th century. This was in imitation of the American revolution. But what worked here until 1860s (and has been in obvious decline since the 1940s) never worked in Europe because it always developed a radical nature.

I disagree. The decline of Europe started about the same time as birth control, abortion and massive liberalism.
