Well, yes.
Funny the way they put it, but essentially history should focus on three things as I see it.
The writer probably meant history should focus on point 3.
1) The specific background of the nation concerned. How it was formed etc.
2) World history, rise and fall of empires and types of government, general background.
3) History as it is relevant to current and likely future political developments, history that is informative in terms of how people think and what influences them. History as a warning.
Remember, people that mishear history are doomed to reheat it.
Sure, ,but because he poster it without clarification it looked like a silly contradiction in term.
