This is not unique to the US. It is how history is taught. My history books pretty much told me that history ended in 1721. Then there was the French Revolution in 1789 and the industrial revolution in 1800. Then World War 1. Weird to skip the 19th century in my opinion, but no wars here, so it simply is not history.
