[Climate]Why are tornadoes so rare in Europe, but almost "common" in North America (US in particular)?

 Tornadoes are rare in Europe, so two tornadoes (Luxembourg and  Amsterdam) on the same day is even rarer. In the US, while we don't have  tornadoes everyday, we have them often enough, usually over 1000 a  year. Why do we have so many. Even Canada has only \~6% of the number than the US recieves? (no data on Mexico) Entire continents have fewer per year than  the US racks up. Shouldn't Asia and Europe have their own Tornado  Alleys?

One reason is that he large open plains of the central US allow the cold arctic air to mix with the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico and create a lot of turbulence. I’m pretty sure they are more likely to form and grow where the ground is flat and can’t disrupt the formation like a mountain would.
They do form almost everywhere but it’s just more common in the US area.
I’d imagine South America gets a lot of tornados as well with areas where there is tropic weather and arctic cold.
