Completely aside from the present US administration and it's foreign policies, it is important because none of the events happening today happen in a vacuum.
All that goes on now has it's roots in events that go back decades and centuries.
So to understand where we are today, one really has to grasp where we've been.
I believe only then can one start to say "this is wrong" or "this is right" with any credibility.
