15 hrs confidence:

our (true) historical greatness

Explanation:
because the 'dimensión' is implicitly great and I think we'd be more likely to put it that way than to talk about historical dimensions.

Maybe proper, fitting, rightful or due historical greatness to get the idea of 'que nos corresponde', but 'true' seems more natural somehow.

Greatness would also chime well with 'grandeza'.
