> I was born in '93 so what happened 100 years ago isn't much of a concern for me.

This is a painfully ignorant statement. Every facet of your life is shaped by the actions of those in the past.

> or on what currency is used to buy petrol.

This literally is the thing regulates how every currency on the planet is valued/traded. EVERYTHING is based on the relationship between the dollar and the price of oil, including the USA/EU trade relationship, and every other trade relationship for that matter. Is that a good thing? Depends on who you ask, but it is nevertheless the current reality.

No, but you aren't exactly making a great case for yourself.
