#2 The first big attempt at suicide was in August 1914. America forked over a lot of resources to help. With the death of the ancient regimes (Hohenzollern, Hapsburg, Romanov, et al) the new European malaise of socialism moved to the forefront as means of suicide with another big attempt in 1939 (National Socialist joining with Communists socialists to divide Poland). Again after another great expenditure of resources the death was delayed, but the whole cancer of 'redistribution' and 'social justice' from its European origin took hold in the New World, particularly among the Europhiles who had a particular revulsion to populist Americana. It's been a slow degenerative disease that has metastasized through the culture. Unfortunately, if history is any indication, either the decline will continue or a lot of blood has to be spilled to remove it. The latter is not just a point of internal strife but also the inability or unwillingness by the body to defend itself from external agents.

#6 That was after WWII. Bauhaus (and the whole Nietzschean philosophy, for that matter) came over after the First World War.
