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

Fuck yes. A future where America could sneeze without the world catching a cold would be a good one. Probably even for Americans. But, as it stands, often US politics is more relevant to people's lives than their own local politics, because they're own local politics are predictable and steady, while in the US it's unpredictable chaos.
