What country are you from?
How is your countries history portrayed in your schools?

Sweden;
>Nyköping Banquet; Birger starves his brothers Valdemar and Erik to death in the dungeon of the Castle of Nyköping.
>Kalmar Union
>Christian the Tyrant
>The Stockholm Bloodbath
>Gustav Vasa frees Sweden from Danish occupation and becomes the first King of Sweden
>Fast forward
>Gustav II Adolf; doesn't go into any real detail about his achievements or reforms, nothing about Breitenfeld. "He died at Lützen, the end."
>Fast forward, practically nothing about the Swedish Empire
>Karl XII; loses at Poltava. Most I know believes he died there, nothing about his time in the Ottoman Empire or his death at Fredrikshamn.
>Sweden loses the Baltic
>Sweden becomes a republic
>Karl XIII participates in the Battle of Leipzig, invades and absorbs Norway
>Sweden grants Norway autonomy in 1905
>"We did absolutely nothing between 1900 and 1945"

>What country are you from?

What?

This is the most depressing thing I've heard today. The Swedes ruled Europe for 50 years and had the strongest army in Europe for 100. Their accomplishments were brilliant. Oxenstierna was the greatest man to ever have lived. As an American, I am saddened to hear that your schools have chosen to ignore the greatest accomplishments of your country. The Goths made all of Europe tremble, as Moscow, Warsaw, Berlin and Copenhagen all fell at some point to Swedish arms. So glorious. Such a shame.

Here, where you live determines what perspective on American history you get. In more liberal areas, it's all about how white people took everything from everyone and ought to be ashamed and how progressivism in an era of corruption ought to be the model for combating the same issues now that have been caused by an overextension of that same progressivism. Conservative areas have lessons that are very pro American and ignore most of her faults and wrongdoings. Opposite sides of the same coin. Negationism is great.

What ain't no country I ever heard of.

We wuz martyrs who always stood up for our freedom against strong invaders, and we will continue fighting to unify our peoples and lands unjustly taken from us by tyrannical powers.

Guess.

That could be anything. Kurdistan, Lithuania, any Native American nation.

>The Swedes ruled Europe for 50 years and had the strongest army in Europe for 100
You are wrong on both charges

At best we simply ruled the north and we never had an army strong enough to rival Russia.
>As an American
Well then shut up about thinks you don't know.
>as Moscow, Warsaw, Berlin and Copenhagen all fell at some point to Swedish arms
That never fucking happened

Now shut up and stop making a fool out of yourself

All I remember from school is that Danish people trough all of history have been a dishonest people one shouldn't trust who got their ass kicked when we walked over the the frozen sea and that Luther saved Europe from the Chatolic church who ran a scam scheme with indulgences and that I as a kid couldn't understand why anyone would follow a p2w religion.

Exactly.
Serb.

Brief history of Finland (after the Hyper War, naturally):
>Before 1100: literally nothing happened. Ever.
>1100-1809: Finland becomes Sweden's backyard. Also nothing happens.
>1809-1917: Sweden gets into a fight with Russia because Russia is bffs with Napoleon but Sweden hates him. Russia marches their troops to Finland just to see if they can. They can indeed as the Swedes give it up pretty much without a fight. So they decide to keep it.
>1917-1939: The communists seize power in Russia, so the top brass of Finland go see Lenin and ask if we can please be a country now. Lenin says yes, figuring that Finland will just become communist as well and join the USSR. We celebrate our independence by immediately having a civil war, between the nationalists and the communists. Oops, it seems we killed all of the gommies in the war. So we don't join the USSR. The nationalists that are in power also turn Finland into a kingdom for like two weeks just to piss off the social democrats, but the German to-be-king pussies out and is never crowned. So we say it was just a prank.
>1939-1945: FUCKING RUSSIANS GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY REEEEE
>1946-2008: Finland goes from a poor agrarian shithole into a developed country scoring top marks in almost all metrics of national performance. To this day no one is sure how.
>2008-2016: Spurdo invented. Recession begins and the country goes down the shitter. At least we have easy neetbux.

>You are wrong on both charges
Sweden had one of the biggest army in Europe after the 30 years war. They also had one of the most well trained armies at the beginning of the 1700 century

>At best we simply ruled the north and we never had an army strong enough to rival Russia.

You did. Russia was able to mobilize a larger army, but could not put all of it into action simultaneously.

>That never fucking happened

Sweden captured Moscow in 1610
Sweden capture Warsaw twice once in 1656, and again in 1705
the rest is false, Sweden laid siege to both berlin and copenhagen but they never made it into the city

Ahem, Sweden manufactured the majority of the world's firearms at the time. They were the best equipped, trained, organized, and provisioned in Europe. They beat the Russians quite badly during the Ingrian War and the Second Northern War, and in fact the Russians couldn't even begin to compete until after the Petrine reforms following the crushing defeat at Narva.

In 1610 they retook Moscow on behalf of the Tsar. In 1656 Brandenburg swore fealty to the Swedish Crown after the Great Elector confronted by the Swedish Royal Army in East Prussia and Karl X took Warsaw as well as the whole of Greater Poland. 1658 Karl took Copenhagen after marching across the frozen Baltic. So yes, all of that happened.

I teach Euro history, I know my shit. Now shut your whore mouth.

It's so sad that Swede doesn't know his own history. No wonder the whole nation worships the brown cock.

Really? There has to be some reason though

Britain

~1200: our medicine was worse than the muslims who were having an islamic golden age and we stole all their tech in the crusades

1700 to 1945: colonialism, slavery and imperialism, also ww2

this is literally all they taught us, my love of history came from video games and the internet

ww2 was mainly about the rise of hitler and the holocaust of course

WE WUZ EMPIRES N SHIEET
WE WUZ HITLER
WE WUZ FOREVER NEUTRAL (after soviets forced us, now everyone here has to love it)

At least Whig history was fun.

Wew. Everything you spewed out showed that you know nothing of your history, get a grip you pathetic mong. It's especially sad when i a finnish person know more about your history than you.

I wish we even had anything of note about Sweden in history. In grade school we pretty much skipped everything between the iron age to the French revolution; i.e the bit where Swedish history happened.

My school was fucking atrocious when it came to history

Well, our history is your history. Up to a point.

Oh yeah, I forgot:
>The dutch stole our colony in America.

cuck

>Sweden captured Moscow in 1610
No, it was Russian-Swedish army and it didn't capture the city because Moscow was under control of the government and besieged by rebels.

I missed some stuff and didn't really get into the more modern shit but that's because we don't really talk so much about it.

>The Goths made all of Europe tremble, as Moscow, Warsaw, Berlin and Copenhagen all fell at some point to Swedish arms. So glorious. Such a shame.
I know you love the swedenYES! memes and all that and that's fine but how does glorifying war have any place in modern education? I always hear this. "You were so badass! The lion of the north maan! You used to be vikings!" It's like, yeah, and most other nations have had some succesful imperial/military period, but why would you paint that as a positive thing? It goes against all modern values.

and why should we care about [current decade] values if all it has going for it is that it's the [current decade]

>Sweden had one of the biggest army in Europe after the 30 years war
Because everyone else used up theirs
>They also had one of the most well trained armies at the beginning of the 1700 century
I never denied that
>You did. Russia was able to mobilize a larger army, but could not put all of it into action simultaneously.
Yet we where never able to beat them properly.
>Sweden captured Moscow in 1610. Sweden capture Warsaw twice once in 1656, and again in 1705
Your previous post made it sound like the Goths did all that.
Russia didn't lose any land to Sweden during the Second Northern War

Why even resort to this it's the current year argumentation? Warfare is always glorified and it has always been seen as more or less glorious. Granted post 19th century warfare is far from glorious.

i'm 99% sure you're either living or from stockholm, because only stockholm indoctrination can damage someone this hard

>if all it has going for it is that it's the [current decade]
I'm simply saying that that period should be taught as it was. And what it was was warring states going at it for honor and glory. And that also brought with it mass death and hardship. And teaching it that way is not some biased way to teach it. It's simply how it was.
>Why even resort to this it's the current year argumentation?
Yeah I fucked up a bit there, I only meant that there's no reason to glorify the war when we know that it was not only that, but there was also a lot of needless suffering that came with it. That's not some conspiracy, it's just fact.
see you're just proving my point, you're so in love with the glory of past wars that when negative sides of it are brought up you instantly resort to conspiracy and that there must be some indoctrination going on. It's pathetic.

You're so in love with beating yourself down that you're destroying your own nation, and your history. There's no other explanation but indoctrination for that kind of self-hatred

No, I am simply reluctant to paint a black and white picture. And while I admire the fact that these great figures lay the foundation for my nation I will not turn a blind eye to the negative things that brought with it.
It is you who see the destruction of culture and indoctrination wherever you turn because you're looking through that lens.

Denmark:
>vikings
>WE RULED ENGLAND
>Baltic crusades
>We owned Norway
>Christian IV fucks up everything but builds a lot of nice buildings in Copenhagen, loosing Eastern Denmark
>Failed colonization, we should apologize to the niggers
>We lost Norway
>We lost southern Denmark
>The nazi occupation

The occupation during WWII and the viking age is what most history teachers focus on.

You're reluctant to paint you or your kin in a good picture because you're indoctrinated to feel bad about yourself and others like you in order to better fit into the mass immigration of thirld world savages

Everything is related to mass immigration for you people isn't it? I know it makes you feel better about yourselves but it's getting to be really pathetic. It's hilarious to see your kneejerk reaction to everything that doesn't fit perfectly in with your narrow worldview. Just talking about deaths in a 400-year old war is enough to tie it back to [current year]. Please post more.

~1200: our medicine was worse than the muslims who were having an islamic golden age and we stole all their tech in the crusades

Fucking Elizabeth with her extra spy.

The Netherlands. It usually starts with the beginning of the 80 Years War against the Spanish and the Golden Age. Then the United East India Company and a few of it's exploits, the Tulip Bubble, Rembrandt, and a few Dutch-English wars. Unfortunately they leave out all the actually interesting stories, like the Dejima trading post, the wars in the Indian Ocean with Chinese pirate lords, and several stories of exploration, like the discovery of Australia and New Zealand. Even the conquest of the Spanish silver fleet is left out.
I also have a gut feeling that slavery is now a major topic in history class and that the name 'Golden Century' is going to be dropped soon.

Because modern values are shit. The only difference between imperialism then and now is that we make the brown people fight each other on our behalf. Peace in the modern era is a lie.

The reason the Swedes should be glorified for their military accomplishments is because they established a unique system that created a very lopsided balance of power in favor of the lower class, one that the rest of Europe wouldn't reach for another 200-250 years. She turned a state that otherwise should not have succeeded into a powerhouse.

There is glory in war, but not honor. Modern education likes to overlook the fact that the world is just as violent today as it was 400 years ago, and while the old guard may have calmed down their expansionist policies, the upstarts have carried the mantle forward. War is a positive thing for the victor; the primary purpose of war is to secure resources for your own people that you would not otherwise have access to because it's easier to take by force than it is to build yourself or trade.

Sweden had the first national army and formalized military administration. They had lost just as much as any of the other major powers except for Austria.

The Russians were beat on numerous occasions.

Swedes are Goths

And no, but they held back the Russians and kept the territory they had taken from Russia during the Ingrian War. That amounts to a victory, as it was first and foremost a Russian invasion of Karelia and Livonia

Those wars benefitted Sweden more than it hurt them, right up until the end (because Karl XII didn't know how to sign a peace treaty). That needless suffering inflicted on others brought great power and wealth back to the Fatherland and its effects were felt by the common people.

>And no, but they held back the Russians and kept the territory they had taken from Russia during the Ingrian War.
Russia conquered some territories and held them for 3 years according to Treaty of Valiesar.
Returned them back because Russian-Polish war had resumed and Russia didn't want to be at war on 2 fronts. So you can call it diplomatic victory, not military.

>the Swedes ruled Europe

They ruled forsaken shitholes (Finland, part of the Baltics and Pomerania) which turned into bigger shitholes under swedish rule.

The rest of their glorious deeds consisted on Mongoling their way through Germany as subservient goys of the french jew master (whilst slurping metric tons of turk semen); Mongoling their way through Polan (whilsh slurping even greater quantities of turk semen); and try to Mongol their way through Russia.

Which was a mistake because the ruskies had learned by then how to deal with Mongols, and not even the Swede King showing up himself in Kebabland to request a new, extra, gazillion-tier suppy of turk semen to revitalize his men could change the outcome.

Which was a bukkake for King Cuck in the turkish dungeons and a gangbang on Sweden by all their neighbours, which, foe some strange reason didn't quite ended in the razing and total destruction of Sweden.

Dear God, this won't breathe any ounce of sense to anyone that hasn't studied history under "l'Education nationale", but I hope I did it justice. Also, I'm recovering from a hefty tooth extraction, so might've left some mistakes here and there.

Scotland. (Scottish education system is separate from the rest of the UK)
Ngl, the entire Scottish history curriculum takes a massive shit on creative freedom and attempts to apply 21st century nationalist perceptions of the world to everything in what is frankly an offense to serious historical analysis.

>Hunter-gatherers and how they transitioned to farmers, applicable to Scotland because of all the prehistoric remains we have here
>Wars of Independence (1290s-1320s) taught at age 12 with no information given about the wider medieval context and viewed through a reductionist lens of Scotland vs. England
>Civil Rights in the USA
>The First World War, but through a Scottish perspective so fuck studying anything but rationing and the Western Front
>Everything that everyone else on this thread learned about the rise of the Nazis
>Social and economic changes in Britain from 1750-1900, dry topic that could have been interesting if it hadn't been taught to us like we were infants
>The "Democratisation" of Britain over the same period, looked at electoral reforms and shit. Again, could have been interesting but just ended up being a patronising mess of dates.
>Wars of Independence again, this time we actually learned that nobles on both sides were backstabbing cunts and switched sides regularly and that nationalist sentments of a similar style to the 19th century onwards (i.e. the Braveheart complex) didn't really exist in the middle ages. They still attempted to pull that shit though.
>The fucking Nazis again (I got so bored by this point that I found a loophole in the assessment for this unit and after aguing with the teacher was able to do my big piece of coursework on the formation of Germany. Got an A)
>In the final year we looked at the modernisation of Japan, really interesting topic and we actually looked at academic sources.

That's it. No real study of the Empire. No mention of the Act of Union, or Expansionism, or the scramble for Africa, or even any Political history from 1600-1900, except maybe a bit on the civil war.

We don't even look at religious reforms or the civil wars in Scotland, despite us effectively kicking half of that shit off :)

Bumb.

>Portugal were the bad guys
Funny, where I studied we learned that the crown transfer of 1807 was actually what saved the country from fragmenting into irrelevant regional quarreling states. Everything else, not really biased one way or another.

Also, too much focus on regional rebellions and uprisings without providing greater context on related events. Like superficially studying the events of the Revolt of the Lash, but not the fact that the ships were it took place, the Minas Geraes-class battleships, apparently sparked a massive arms race in other South American states and left the entirety of Europe struck dumb when they were purchased.

USA. Taught that we did horrible things to the Native Americans and blacks, then in the world wars we suddenly become the best people ever somehow.

Seeing that everything after 1885 is mostly ignored I'd say it was pretty shit, skipping the entire modern history of Bulgaria, which also happens to be some of the best our country has to offer, especially WW1 and the Balkan wars, still leads to people regarding Russia as the big brother that is always willing to protect us and will never do harm which leads to the people being fucking uneducated and causing the majority of the problems that Bulgaria has today.

Our history is barely portrayed at all, because all of the historians, writers, poets and journalists are the fringe minority from the 90's who had pan-romanian sentiments. And they monopolized all aspects of moldovan history, by romanian washing it and claiming it was romanian.

>Basically some parts here and there about medieval era

>1812 RUSSIA ANNEXED EASTERN MOLDOVA AND IT WAS A CRIME AGAINST THE ROMANIAN KIN RUSSIANS ARE SCUM WE WOULD BE PART OF ROMANIA TODAY

>some other things about how life was back then

>1859 WAS WHEN ROMANIA WAS CREATED AND THE ROMANIAN KIN ALL REJOICED BECAUSE THEY HAD A STATE AND IT WAS MOLDOVANS WHO MADE IT THEREFOR WE ARE ROMANIANS AND WERE SEPARATED FROM OUR ROMANIAN KIN

>History then focuses on the history of the romanian state

>1918 ALL OF ROMANIA WAS UNITED INTO A SINGLE STATE MOLDOVANS VOTED TO JOIN THE UNION IT WAS THE WILL OF EVERYONE BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVED BEING ROMANIAN STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

>1940 EVIL USSR TOOK US FROM ROMANIA IT WAS A TRAGEDY IT WAS ARBITRARY WE NEED TO FIX THE HISTORICAL MISTAKES AND UNITE WITH ROMANIA ONCE AGAIN

>1991 WE INDEPENDENT AGAIN BECAUSE WE WERE ROMANIANS AND HELD THE TRUTH FROM THE SOVIETS LONG LIVE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE AND ROMANIAN CULTURE WE ARE ROMANIANS

And so on and so forth. It's self-cucking in it's most direct sense. Nobody has an objective analysis of Moldovan history because everyone thinks that the moldovan identity was fabricated by the USSR, which is a historically an aberation to claim such a thing. Or that in 1917 Romania annexed the first moldovan republic, and people didn't want to unite because they didn't see themselves as romanians, but as moldovans. And this came from tons of villages all across the country with 100% moldovans living in them.


All of this is purposly ignored because it destroys their fringe pan-romanian narrativ. And nobody can do anything because they simply hold a cultural monopoly over everything.

In short, we need a revolution to shoot them all.

>>nobody likes us now
American here, I love you Polish bastards. You're like, the one country in Europe that was progressive and not a shithead to everyone else. You were nice to the Jews, you had the golden liberty, you were badass in legitimate military encounters and by all accounts decent people. I hope you guys rise again.

Daily reminder that the true Moldova is now part of Romania, and not the abortion that we call Basarabia.

>True Moldova

>Basically eastern Romania
Kek

Not sure if you're full of shit or if you just went to a horrible school. You really weren't taught about Oxenstierna's reforms and Gustavus Adolphus military achievements?

I don't believe for a second your teacher didin't tell you about Charles X and the March Across the Belts or Charles XI and the Battle of Narva.

>Narva
Fuck I meant Lund

I never recieved any tutelage on any of the wars Sweden was involved in, all I got was a brief summary of the kings. Maybe it was you who went to a really good school?

how do you guys remember the history taught in school? That was so long ago, unless you're talking about university.

I quite enjoy History so I remember quite well how crap, nonsensical and biased my History lessons were at school.
