What events or situations of WW1 led to a Nazi fascination with Anglo-Saxon powers?

The (I assume the publishers) summery found here:
states:
Die Vereinigten Staaten und das Britische Empire galten Hitler als Vorbilder für ein deutsches Weltreich, das sich ebenfalls auf Landgewinn, Rassismus und Gewalt gründen sollte.
The United States and the British Empire were regarded by Hitler as models for a German world empire that was also to be based on territorial gain, racism and violence.
This statement is more to the point (and I think answers the last part of your question), since Hitler’s Confidential Memorandum on Autarky (August 1936) is the blue print to achieve the goal of a similar/seperate empire in the east.
The UK and USA are not even meantioned by name in the memorandum.
Europe has at present only two States which can be regarded as standing firm in the face of Bolshevism: Germany and Italy. The other countries are either disintegrated through their democratic form of life, infected by Marxism, and thus likely themselves to collapse in the foreseeable future, or ruled by authoritarian Governments whose sole strength lies in their military means of power; this means, however, that, being obliged to secure the existence of their leadership in face of their own peoples by means of the armed hand of the Executive, they are unable to direct this armed hand outwards for the preservation of their States. All these countries would be incapable of ever conducting a war against Soviet Russia with any prospects of success. In any case, apart from Germany and Italy, only Japan can be regarded as a Power standing firm in the face of the world peril.
...
6) The final solution lies in extending living space of our people and/or the sources of its raw materials and foodstuffs. It is the task of the political leadership one day to solve this problem.
...
I thus set the following task:I. The German army must be operational [einsatzfähig] within four years.
II. The German economy must be fit for war [kriegsfähig] within four years.
The Four Year Plan was a direct result of this memorandum.
So who to trust?
- what Hitler himself wrote and acted upon (i.e. known events)
- what someone (who was born 22 years after Hitler died) claims Hitler thought
