Interesting vid — there are some useful truths in there, along with some pretty heavy handed quasi-globalist propaganda, including among other goodies, the inclusion of the Soviets in the “peace loving nations of the world”. Uh-huh.
Still, as I consider the Germans, and I’m of German ancestry who fled Germany several generations ago to come to the US... Modern Germans are defanged from military conquest, but I surmise their “tradition of freedom”, despite our efforts after WW2, is weak indeed. This weakness just manifests itself a bit differently, in the people, and government, now.

It simply recounts the end of the First World War as prelude to the Second.
You must have watched some other video.

Well said. It seems that some cultures continue to feel more comfortable with some form of empire while broadcasting through media that the people of each of those cultures are opposed to empire.
It also appears that the claim of inherent superiority among such peoples involves perceived potential military strength and ability to conquer. Granted, those nations have constructed narratives to say that we somehow conquered them in the past, even though we didn't try to keep their lands or peoples. China is suspicious of us for several irrelevant reasons (our majority race, our allies of the past, etc.) along with seeing that we stand in the way of plans for expansions.
