Which country is hated more? Britain or America?
America is what some consider a "modern day superpower" and what others consider a "blackhole of evil", however many people regarded the British Empire with the same thoughts when it was a hyperpower. Though the British Empire was a lot bigger than America it ended decades ago so a lot of the jealous hatred could still be around.

The United States is definitely hated more than Great Britain. This is due to the U.S. being the World's Policeman and all that, as well as for the American foreign policy. The U.S. gets involved with foreign affairs too often, which causes other countries to like America less. Another issue is that US culture is frowned upon by many because of the downward trend it is following. Side: America

Everywhere I go people bitch about my nationality. Until I tell them I'm Californian. lot of the jealous hatred could still be around. Why can't you just admit that some people might actually genuinely hate your country for what it is, and not secretly think it's awesome? Side: America
If you took a survey I think that you would probably find that America is hated most. Why? Well throughout history America has done all kinds of annoying things that have cost lives, been stupid, and sometimes just done really annoying things. The main reason that Americans are often met with distaste is: America bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki Regardless of whether or not you think that it was justified, many people disagree with the decision that took around 70000 lives after those nuclear bombings. Across the globe people can recognise, even many Americans, that it was not the greatest and most live-saving decision that has been made in history. Many other military decisions have gained distaste for Americans, too. Side: America

I just spent about six months in Europe and I can attest that the Americans are hands-down more disliked than the British. Grant it, the British are a strong number 2 (and we learned a lot of our bullshit from the British), but British are also smart enough to be a little more subtle with their arrogance and obnoxiousness. America doesn't even try. We've developed this smug "USA is number 1" attitude and we believe it, because less than 20% of Americans have actually been out of this shit hole. Seriously, spread your wings a little bit and you'll see that we actually trail the civilized area in every area that actually matters. Yes, we have a strong military and a large (not necessarily efficient) economy, but we can't even take care of ourselves. We're ignorant, we're thick-headed, we're uneducated. We're like the drunken hillbillies that came to town. We have one of most violent, contentious, "fuck-you" attitude of any culture in the world. If we spent a little more time on trying to build a better person and a little less time on trying to build a better bomb we might just actually build a better society. It made me so angry to learn to just how inadequate we really are. Side: America
