I learn enough American history from American TV, American movies, American books, American music, going to American high school, and growing up in America and talking to old Americans, so I'm far more interested in world history.
At college I studied women's history, LGBTQ history, art history, ancient Japanese history, modern Japanese history, and Buddhist history (and of course tons and tons of film history classes). And for an American Cultures requirement I took a class on American linguistics that studied the history of languages in America (history of English, native languages, immigrant languages, and all their dialects and pidgin languages). All those classes were amazing, and far more interesting than my American history classes in high school, which were more of American indoctrination classes that wanted to teach me that America has always been right about everything ever. I'm glad the internet was around so I could look up other versions of history, or I might have grown up to be an idiot who thinks America saves the world once a week.
