Or just realise most of the world doesn’t give a shit about American history any more than Americans care about the treaty of Waitangi.
American history is more consequential though. Similarly, even though I don’t care much about Russian history, it was Russian history that led Putin to conclude that he had a right to control Ukraine, which has led to the first land war in Europe in decades.
More consequential in the immediate case, though we probably all hope for a future where America’s history is not worldwide-relevant
actually i love learning about the treaty of waitangi and its fucked up translations and the long-term consequences of it
