Do they teach American history in Japan?

Question:

I was wondering if they teach American history in Japan because I know they have English classes?

Answer:

We learn English as an international language; not as American language. This is true not only in Japan, but in all of the European and Asian countries.
People all over the world do not care about the US and Americans as you may expect.

Edit:
Yes, we learn a little bit about American history in our world history class.
We learn about your "founding fathers" and the war of independence with the British. We learn about President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil War, the Great Depression in 1929 and the New Deal by President F.D. Roosevelt, US carpet bombing all over Japan, including two A-bombs during wwii, McCarthyism in the 1950's, Assasination of J.F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech and the Civil Rights Movement, etc. But that is just part of our study on world history in high school in Japan.
What do you learn about Japanese history in your high school in the US?
