US imperialism didn't happen until the 1950s, well after the war.

Absolute whitewashing of the USian crimes against humanity all over the first half of the 20th century. Examples: big stick ideology

The US also constantly did shit like this in the Americas all over the 19th century, see United Fruit Company or Military Government of Cuba.
