Question:
Americans have their own country (USA), why their historians tend to focus on the history of Africa or Europe?

I know that USA was founded by migrants or slaves from Europe, Africa and many other groups (political refugees, convicts etc.). In the USA, here are also the Native Americans of various ethnic groups..

The USA gained its independence on 4 July 1776 (236 years). This is ample time to write and record its own history different from the history of forefathers or ancestors from Europe, Africa or Asia.

I have come across hot debates over the Internet where African Americans take pride in the history of ancient Egypt or European American celebrate the Holy Roman Empire.

America is a melting pot in which every community keeps to itself and history is taught from an ethnocentric perspective.

African Americans learn the history of Africa

European Americans learn the history of Europe.

Asian Americans learn the history of Asia

Arab Americans learn the history of the Arab world

Maybe, I am wrong. If I am right, why is that so?

The USA is an economic superpower
The USA is a military superpower
The USA is at the forefront of technological advances

It seems the USA do not want to have its own beautiful history detached from the history of Africa, Europe or Asia.

America has no people of its own. All people living in america are from africa and US. The original habitat were Red Indians. But their society was destroyed from generations. Also America has no interesting history. Although countries like Africa, Europe and India have much interesting and long histories which date back from 1000 - 1960.

India has a very long history. Even longer than I mentioned earlier.

Africa's history starts from the beginning of mankind. The first modern human civilization was created in Africa.

Europe has many contents in history History of kings, world war II, Middle ages, Reniance period, Black Death era, Great Depression and what not.



What you are talking about is how USA is today. After some years, This will be created into history. In future, children will learn about this:

The USA was an economic superpower

The USA was a military superpower

The USA was at the forefront of technological advances



Although USA's history will be shorter than other countries, it will make its citizen proud to live in it. And thats much more important than having a beautiful history :-)

Funny, the typical arguement from folks around the world is Americans only learn American history and learn nothing of the history of the rest of the world.

Because many Europeans desired to stick in Europe and no longer migrate to America. The majority of Africans in early instances did not come to the "new global" by way of alternative. They got a unfastened price ticket by way of evil slave investors. I could say, "deficient Africans!"

That is true. There is nothing in the constitution to say you have to learn anything at all. Liberals run the school system and make people learn subjects because that is the way they take over.

Because Africa and Europe both have a longer, richer and more interesting history.

If they teach to Much American History Americans Might learn who Financed Hitler from 1924



and who Put up the Money in 1933 to pay for Hitlers Bid In the 1933 elections Most Of my answers I get abused because People Don't Like the Truth read and watch the Thumbs down



1924 Rockefeller Invest in Hitler and the NAZI party



1933 FDR Rockefeller's Prescott Bush Lindbergh Warburg of the chase bank Used JP morgan and Associates to set Up the Hitler Fund this Raised the Money Hitler needed to Contest the 1933 elections that Put Hitler in Power



1933 Ford sets Up Factories in Russia and Germany



1933 ITT GM start to Build Hitler war machine In germany



1938 IBM sets up hitlers census this later was used to Round Up the Jews



1940 Standard Oil IG Farben Texaco set up 40 petrochemical plants in Germany and Occupied countries the Biggest was at Buna In Poland using 83,000 slaves with assistance from Dupont



1943 ITT engineer flies to madrid to give the NAZIS a New Navigation system for the ITT owned Fokker wolfs later this Navigation system was fitted into the V1 and the V2



1941 GM starts to Build the US army's worst tank the Sherman remember they had Been Building Tigers and Panthers since 1933



so the worst the Sherman was the More they needed to make ( Money was the Motivation )



1922, payments by I.G. Farben and General Electric in 1933, followed by the Standard Oil of New Jersey and I.T.T. subsidiary payments to Heinrich Himmler up to 1944. US multi-nationals under the control of Wall Street profited handsomely from Hitler's military construction program in the 1930's and at least until 1942.



Henry Ford was an early (1922) Hitler backer and Edsel Ford continued the family tradition in 1942 by encouraging French Ford to profit from arming the German Wehrmacht. Subsequently, these Ford-produced vehicles were used against American soldiers as they landed in France in 1944. For his early recognition of, and timely assistance to, the Nazis, Henry Ford received a Nazi medal in 1938. The records of French Ford suggest Ford Motor received kid glove treatment from the Nazis after 1940.



in 1939 ITT and GM financed SKF in Gotenburg to ensure that they could Supply all the ball bearing needed to Build hitlers Trucks tanks and aircraft and in 1943 SKF of Philadelphia sent 600,000 units a year Via spain to Germany and Failed to supply the US army more than 23 % of their needs
