World History or *insert your country here* history?

Wow, you won a war hundreds of years ago fighting in your home territory, whilst the enemy came from thousands of miles away and therefore it was a logistical nightmare to organise the war. Not to mention the French played a huge role in that war.

Fact is, British history < American history. Without Britain, the world would not be industrialised to anywhere near the extent it is today. I could talk forever about this, but I really should revise for my exams.

Also, lol @ the person who thinks the U.S saved Europe 3 times. In World War One you entered the war late on and were not needed. In World War Two, it was the Soviets who dealt BY FAR the greatest toll on Germany. Also, you started the cold war, so without you we would have been fine, because the war would never have happened.

 

I think you forgot the war where we destroyed your army a second time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812

I Don't think America saved europe 3 times.. It was only once. Although we did help end world war I (we were kind of the closer on that) In WWII we helped russia and England in so many ways they couldn't have won without us..In the Cold War I guess we were essential. If you think otherwise, who else could take on russia? Luxembourg? So we only saved europe once (WWII), but that does not mean if things had turned out differently (like if the cold war blew up and so forth) that we wouldn't have been essential then. Oh wait, maybe we did save them three times?

 

 

But to get back on topic.. I don't know. I love the history surrounding early americans (and native americans), and also anything that involves the civil war. But there were other things that happened. Such as the frontier expeditions. I would also like to add that US history does not just have to include the time period covering the united states. The origins of the country include many colonies started by many countries!

Then again, world history is also really interesting. The Roman empire, the Byzantine Empire, Alexander the Great and so forth. I like it all, really.
