Of course to the whitewashed part ( just like every other nation's) and we could hardly help being eurocentric. It did not matter to us for instance that there were enormous social upheavals in China as we had no territorial ambitions there in the 19th century. Plus, and this is key, until WWII we were still busy building our own nation... and shitting on the Indians and Mexicans in the process. We dealt with Europe because of trade/commerce considerations but we were perfectly willing to sit WWI out until German submarine doctrine starting sinking our ships. It was never about them. It was always about us.
