>The difference is Europe had a tradition of democracy before the great wars.
You need to go back and reread your history. Of the major powers existant before WW1, only Brtain and France had anything close to freely-elected governments. Just about everything east of France was governed by a monarchy of some type. The situation was worse before WW2. Hitler and Mussolini came to power via elections but, once assuming power, could not be removed.
