There's also the fact that, you know, America isn't invading England. America is currently the major power in just about everything, internationally, and that means having a large cultural influence even over countries he doesn't invade. The same thing happened with France and England, back when they were major powers. Everyone wanted to be wearing the latest fashions from Paris, everyone in the art world had to go to Paris to make it as an artist, people on the other side of the world were wearing corsets and ruffles because it's just the latest thing in London, darling, don't you know? Everyone spoke French, and then everyone spoke English once Britain got stronger, etc. Now it's America's turn. Because of stuff like the internet and other forms of mass media today, the cultural impact is much stronger than it would have been a hundred years ago, so everyone watches American TV, people start to pick up an American accent, there's a McDonalds on every street corner, etc.
This isn't just happening in England, it's true all over the world, but we're still not simply turning into America, anymore than England turned into France in the eleventh century. Yes, we're changing, adapting to the new world, but that kind of thing is inevitable. But if England wants to preserve himself and maintain his identity as separate from America, it'd have to be something he did himself. In Hetalia turns, Ireland may be able to grab the remote off him or whatever, but there's really nothing they can do in Real World terms. That said, I'm pretty sure England's not about to become the 51st state or whatever, he may be changing, but everyone is. It's just how the world works.
That said I haven't been to England in years, it's entirely possible the situation is far more drastic than I thought. But you still have the most ridiculous English accent I've heard in some time, which you think sounds American, so I think you might be okay. Americanisation is an issue, but it's not something that's unique to England and it's nearly 1 am it's possible I'm not making sense or thinking shit.
