Imagine one person holding up a pillar of stone, the base area of the person’s width, and higher then one man. So maybe 50cm X 50cm X 300cm of solid stone. That’s more than double the weight of the person itself, probably more than 5 times.

That would be implying that only learning about battles is “learning about the 2nd ww”. And it would deny that learning about society, policy and civilian suffering is part of learning about the war.
I disagree with that.

It’s not about you personally, more about the education system in some countries versus others.
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 8 months ago:
I don’t think you understand how much of a difference it makes to speak another language.
You are far less likely to marry someone with a different language or move somewhere with a different language. From what I read on the internet, Americans move between states several times in their lives. That is a very equalising factor for the culture and general way of life. There’s much more exchange and assimilation if there is constant mixing.
How a French person and a German person view life, work and public conduct can differ greatly. And the differences won’t be equalised soon, because of the different languages and therefore less mixing.
Surely the states have differences between them, but you have one traditional Thanksgiving dinner nationwide for example.
What an Italian considers a traditional Christmas meal would not be considered “christmassy” in Finland.
On the political sphere, there are constitutional monarchies, presidential republics, parliamentarian republics, oligarchies and dictatorships in Europe. Personal freedom and safety might differ greatly. But even within the EU, where personal rights are more or less equal there are still so many cultural differences. At what age you move out, how prestigious it is to go to university, if cooking at home is a great value.
Even architectural trends are different in each country.
Not to diminish the diversity in the US, but two different countries is just another level.

Yes, it would be different but not necessarily better. There is no moral value in the US owning that land. If it was owned by Spain, or maybe have many different independence movements and be owned by native peoples, would it be worse?
The Great plains would also still exist (as would Louisiana and Florida)??? They don’t vanish if someone else governs them.

Which wouldn’t be too bad.
The citizens didn’t gain much through the conquest.
