This study investigates the extent of Americanization in different geographical regions by analyzing Wikidata items and Wikipedia articles across various languages. It reveals differences in the interest in American topics, depending on the development of countries. This research offers the first global, quantitative evidence of Americanization, challenging previous assumptions. Additionally, it highlights Wikipedia's potential in quantifying social science concepts traditionally deemed unmeasurable and contributes to discussions on the platform's biases. Moreover, as an important part of the research, American sources of information in Wikipedia articles were identified and analyzed.
