Is Voldemort the only Dark Lord?

Does anyone know if Voldemort has any hold over people in other countries?  
Example: If an American wizard came into the books (as highly unlikely as 
that is) would (s)he have any knowledge of Voldemort?  They say he's the 
greatest Dark wizard in a century (or something of that nature), but does 
that mean just in Europe?  There really isn't much mention of America in HP 
(the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the Salem witches at 
the World Cup).  If the theoretical American wizard (which will now be 
referred to as TAW) came and heard about Voldemort, isn't there the 
possibility that TAW could say "Oh, I've never heard of Voldemort."  We may 
think it's highly unlikely, but I just thought of that as I was reading GoF 
(for like the billionth time.....).  I think it's possible that there are 
other Dark wizards at work in other parts of the world that have as much 
power as Voldemort.    Couldn't TAW say, "We don't have Voldemort, but we 
have *insert name here*"?
Okay, that's just my theory.  Any other ideas?
