My favourite part of U.S. history is the sheer number of countries around the world that had some profound, nothing-was-the-same, year-zero interaction with the U.S. that the Americans have almost completely forgotten about. Japan had TWO of them, and the Americans only remember the latter one because it had a-bombs.
