MODERATORS
I very much appreciate the person who understands history enough to draw this parallel. I am also fairly certain few in the usa get it because international history is no longer a core subject.
My high school history curriculum was one year of World History, followed by two years of U.S. History. I always thought that was completely backwards. There's so much more history in the world than in the U.S. Besides, we'd already covered pretty much everything except the 20th century in elementary and middle school, making the first U.S. History class basically a rehash of stuff we already knew.
