Twin v single fin

The answer to this is probably obvious to you guys but us mere mortals can only wonder, why is it that the Americans seem to prefer a twin fin design for their interceptors/fighters F15,17,18,19,22,35,117 etc wheras the Europeans seem to prefer a single fin (albeit a large one) what are the advantages/disadvantages of each configuration?
