Yes, AFAIK the British typography does put two spaces after a full
stop, unlike the French one (and other continental European ones,
too). So the difference is not American vs. European, but rather
English vs. European, or TeXnically speaking, English vs. French:
referencing the \frenchspacing command, which makes TeX to switch to
the French way of spacing (suitable for other European styles too).
