Although this is a generalisation that is actually quite close far a lot of Americans, it is mainly down to;

lack of education in humanities areas such as history and geography,

Blind Patriotism,

stupidity,

there are many accusations...

[One such from a stereotype is too much moonshine]

Also they are specially prone to stereotyping people -

e.g. I'm sure there are many who think that Britain is still in the Victorian age and Europe is a country

While looking for evidence I found a comment that proves the point that many Americans think that they are the only civilised country

There are some that are that way but not everybody, heck I was downtown several months ago when a American tourist couple said as I walked past them " Wow, they have McDonald's here. Maybe they aren't so uncivilized".
