And we frequently forget about the misdeeds that we did. What are the Bandan-Islands for example?

but britain invited the orange army .

Brazil
Here history is divided into "General History" and "Brazilian History", in some states the state's history is also a subject
>literally only general history until 1500
>ancient civilizations, mostly iranians, egypcians, greeks and romans
>split of the roman empire and the fall of WRE
>medieval times and it's society

>military dictatorship until 1985, the military are literally nazis now
>democracy again, a bunch of shitty presidents
>Lula is god
Pretty much this, now, what the general population actually knows is another story.

Do we have a Belgium version of this? I'd love to see what kinds of excuses they give for mutilating the Congo.

Elementary= foreign cultures, egypt, france, japan, germany
Middle school= state and country history
High school= broad outline of world history + country history

Funland reperesent

Later stages is sort of "how much do you wanna know?" but mandatory is:

>There wuz prehistory
>There wuz vikangz
>Some ancient history, barebones
>SWEDISH KANGZ
>Oh hey the 19th century is relevant I suppose
>There was ww1
>There was ww2

Once you leave basic schooling, though, it depends where you live and what you want to study. Everything from prehistory to modern, but still relatively basic.

I imagine it's just "blame literally everything on the king"

American. My curriculum basically went like this:
>American Revolution was great for democracy but not great for women, minorities and native americans because they were almost always excluded
>Early American democracy was pretty fucked up and the War of 1812 was pointless
>The Civil War was about slavery and Abe Lincoln was the best POTUS in US history
>Reconstruction failed because Southern Democrats were authoritarian tyrants and blatantly stole a lot of elections in the 1870s
>Most of the natives were either herded onto reservations or exterminated
>The Gilded Age was super corrupt but Teddy Roosevelt more or less saved the country from corrupt business interests
>WWI might as well have not happened for all the educational coverage we got about it. We talked more about the Spanish Flu than we did WWI
>The Depression sucked but FDR rescued the country with the New Deal and lots of war spending once WWII happened
>WWII was a global crusade against fascism, Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo were evil, evil people who did evil, evil things
>Not much said about the atomic bombings, but generally agreed to be necessary
>Cold War between the US and USSR once both sides realized they couldn't get along without a fascist empire to beat up together
>The Cold War was pretty dumb and both sides did a lot of really awful stuff, though the Soviets were much, much worse
>Nixon was pretty much the devil, though he did open up relations with China

Usually we only ever made it to the immediate post-war era or Vietnam at the latest, since American schools don't tend to place a premium on history when there's more important things to do...like study for standardized tests.

The Netherlands was the worse European colonisers after Belgium that left pretty much nothing to their former colony except for chocolate sprinkles and stupid continental law

t. Indonesian

But can you imagine your life without chocolate sprinkles?

William of Orange sounded like a pretty powerful guy. It's a shame he was killed by a Frenchman, though.

>medieval Christianity
>enlargement of the world (xv-xvi th centuries)
>men of the Renaissance
>French revolution (again)
>liberty and nations in europe during the XIXth century
Then after the equivalent of 11th grade, the program is different, since there is different sections, the economical section is the one with the most developed historical program :
>economical growth and globalization
>mutation of societies (XIXth century)
>World wars and hope of peace
>cold War
>totalitarianism
>colonial domination
>decolonisation
>the republic, three republic
>muh holocaust

>people make cheese but don't like it when we sing the Frau Antje song
>bredy gud footie players for such a tiny country
>live and travel in trailers
>only use motorized vehicles to tow said trailers. Everything else is done with bicycles
>then excursion to the Dutch border to see for ourselves. Everything was true.

>Germany

Nazi, Hitler, Jews.
Thats it practically, there is a bit on the rise of german nationalism and creation of united germany during the previous century, a bit on the Weimar republic and the split between Eastern and Western Germany, but 80% of History Class is on the Nazi time. Which is a bit ludicrous, considering its just 13 years out of a history of 1500 years.
The HRE for example was not even mentioned

>the hre was not even mentioned
Really? You don't talk about the habsburg or prussia?

that's a lot of typing
appreciated

Just for their role in forming Germany, the Klein- or Großdeutschland question and so on.

Switzerland here. At least back in our time, it varied greatly by teacher.
We basically did
>Ancients like Sumerians, Hittites, Egyptians
>Very, very briefly glossed over Greeks and Romans
>Charlemagne (briefly)
>Switzerland (1291)
>Renaissance
>Reformation (we went pretty heavy on this)
>(most of the periods up til the Korean War)

Yeah, we basically had 35% Weimar and 65% Nazi Germany during our last 1 1/2 years. Our teacher actually had to attempt to go through the mainstream history class points ranging from the Greeks to the DDR (went about as bad as could be expected)

i probably forgot some stuff but this is how i more or less remember it
>prehistoric shit
>ancient Mesopotamian civilizations
>Egypt, Nile
>Greeks, their mythologies, culture etc
>some info on Romans and Byzantines/ split of Roman empire
>some shit about proto slavs, their early settlements etc
>966 Christianization, we will be kangz
>the period of Poland shattered into duchies
>invitation of Teutonic knights
>reunification of Poland, loss of some clay like Silesia
>Casimir the great, end of first Polish dynasty
>brief union with Hungary
>union with Lithuania and their christianization
>victory over teutonic knights
>commonwealth of both nations, elective monarchy
>16 century of relevance and golden age
>protestant/reformation autism
>17 century of wars of silver age, greatest polish extend, involvement into russian smuta, Cossack uprisings, deluge, last moment of greatness at Vienna
>18 century of decline, shit kings, corruption, late attempts at reform, constitution and partitions
>briefly some stuff on USA war of independence
>duchy of Warsaw, Napoleon, war with Russia
>Poland under partitions, people who contributed to the culture and independence movements, failed uprisings and migrations
>ww 1, independence, Piłłsudski
>chaotic interwar period, everyone is retarded
>ww 2, obvious stuff
>communism
>solidarity and fall of communism

This, its one of the easiest and tastiest breakfast things.

>The Netherlands was the worse European colonisers after Belgium that left pretty much nothing to their former colony except for chocolate sprinkles and stupid continental law

Lol. Do you really believe that?

>The Troubles in Northern Ireland started because the IRA just randomly started killing people one day in Londonderry
>De Valera wanted Ireland to be British but kept them neutral after the war to stop more conflict
>The famine got so bad because Britain was trying to feed all its colonies and saw the British Isles as secondary to the poor subjects of the empire
>The British Soldiers in the Troubles were called in by Loyalist civilians to protect them from the IRA
>The UVF didn't exist and was actually just soldiers

Northern Irish Education is a wild ride.

I thought Pedro was remembered quite fondly in Brazil, and didn't have much signficiant power?

>the famine was bad because Britain was trying to feed the empire
That's some prime battered wife syndrome, surely everybody could reconcile the famine just by pointing to the liberal economies being championed by the ruling liberal party? I mean they're basically dead now.

Finland:

Also separated in world and Finnish history
Finnish:
>muh ice age
>ETERNAL SWEDE crusading us
>ETERNAL SWEDE not defending us from cossacks
>ETERNAL SWEDE taxing too much
>ETERNAL SWEDE sells us off to Russia
>Oh hey Russian rule wasn't too bad, at least it wasn't ETERNAL SWEDE
>Ok Nikolai II was a dick
>Civil war

>MUH FIGHTER ACES
>ETERNAL SWEDE REMAINS NEUTRAL
>finlandization

World history is the regular greek/roman/nappy/etc stuff but in WWII the Germans got a LOT nicer treatment and it's pointed out that Americans also had concentration camps and Stalin was DEVIL INCARNATE

Well they left pretty good sewer system what else? All you did was pretty much taking our resources to your country. Look at Malaysia, Brits were better at colonisation and now they're more developed than us

>Portugal

For some reason we have barely any history from outside our borders after said borders come into place. Only WWI and WWII. And I do recall some stuff about the Renaissance.

>Prehistory
>We Celts, Goths, Phoenicians, Romans, Moors now
>talk about how GOAT Viriathus was
>huge long ass topics about the Greeks and Romans
>fun part starts here
>God's mad at the Moors for the Peninsula
>some guy from Burgundy likes to kill Moors and settles in northern Portugal
>we County now
>still have to pay muh fees to some would be constituent part of Castille-Spain
>said guy's offspring doesn't like this
>his mom craves the spaniard cock
>she gets BTFO
>we Kingdom now
>kill moors on our way to the sunny south
>no more more
>we explorations

Then we have a fucktown about this, where we learn the Dutch hate us, the Spaniards don't think about us - at all and the Eternal Anglo is a good guy until he gets greedy - they would eventually make demands that would help the Republican cause.

According to our history books, the French are irrelevant until Napoleon shows up - Peninsular War ensues, the Germans are a nonentity, 0 mentions of Holy Roman Empire, a few words about the Reformation is all there is. Italy is just the renaissance.

As for the rest of Europe (including Sweden, Russian, Denmark, all that jazz) I do not recall a single word.

That was 15 years ago though

>where we learn the Dutch hate us
Do we?
Why?

Kinda silly how they are basically ignorant of the first English (later British) and French colonies, this is early American history that is the basis of the entire American state. But nope everything starts at the revolution...

There is literally no-one who was worse as a colonisator than the Eternal Anglo.

Besides that: we are the reason you are even a country. Without the Dutchman you would just be isolated isles.Raymond Westerling did nothing wrong.

>Austria

>WE wuz HRE n shiet
>WE wuz hitlerz first victimz, send reparations Germany!
>Austria was never german to begin with lol

sums up austrian """history""" education

After the Dutch had asked the English to invite them to use the invitation as post hoc rationalisation for the invasion.

Swamp jews were operating at another level back then.

>There is literally no-one who was worse as a colonisator than the Eternal Anglo
Quality shitpost

>Swamp jews
That's Dutchies?

Who else?

Sweden. It was ten years ago since I had these classes so my memory is a bit hazy, but it went something like this
>shift from hunter gatherers to agrarian societies
>fast forward to Vikangz and their expeditions to Constantinople
>Gustav Vasa and the conflicts with the eternal Dane
>mass-emigration to USA
>WW1 briefly mentioned as a cause for WW2 due to the Versailles treaty

Everything up to this point was covered in the first half of the year with the rest of it dedicated to WW2.
>our history teacher was a jewess so all of WW2 history was focused on the holocaust
>the war itself was only mentioned in the start (with the invasion of Poland) and the end (fall of Berlin, Hitler's suicide)
>everything else was about the jewish plight in concentration camps and life in the Warsaw ghettos
>mandatory viewing of Schindler's List
>teacher tries to organize a class trip to Auschwitz but gets shut down because there's no way to fund it
>as a final task we were supposed to write an essay on any WW2 event of our liking
>chose the Winter War since I have relatives in Finland
>she gives my essay a B with the motivation that it's well written but she doesn't know much about the Winter War and that I should have consulted her first before choosing it as a topic
>even the worst troglodytes in class got an A if they wrote about the holocaust

Joke's on her though, she died of lung cancer from heavy smoking a few years later.

>>she gives my essay a B with the motivation that it's well written but she doesn't know much about the Winter War and that I should have consulted her first before choosing it as a topic
>>even the worst troglodytes in class got an A if they wrote about the holocaust

As a soon-to-be history teacher this rustles my Jimmies to an amazing extent..

What they did to Middle-East is pretty bad but overall they improved their colony quite a lot. Besides, Indonesia was a mistake

>There is literally no-one who was worse as a colonisator than the Eternal Anglo
The eternal krauts, lusos and frogs come to mind, and I'm barely even trying

Quite the contrary, blame is put on the Force publique mercenaries .Leopold 2 is seen as an overly ambitious king.

Don't you have General History and Netherlands History as separated subjects?

In Spain it is like that. Or at least it was like that when I was in the school.

First two points are accurate but in my school there was a lot of guilt tripping about WW2 and how the first victim thing is a meme.

Latvia
Pretty much your basic general history with emphasis on Livonia, Hanse and the Russian Empire (and France for some reason).
WW1 had a lot of
>muh latvian riflemen
>muh christmas battles
Then a significant amount about independence.
I weirdly don't even remember anything on ww2 from high school, so i'm gonna say it was unremarkable at best.
Post ww2 was almost all about economics and regaining independance.
Americas was only glossed over, same for Asia and literally nothing on subsahar Africa.

Biggest wewuz
>duchy of Courland and Semigallia held some holdings in Africa and Caribbean

don't know were you live but we only had ww2 in high school as a non mandatory class

Fucking third-worlders, I swear.

Pretty much had this too. The subject wasn't history but spanish history.

America, Philadelphia

>grade school

Pilgrims n indians had a nice picnic, some stuff about pioneers out west, some stuff about the Quakers founding the city

>middle school

Discovery of the americas, columbus dindu nuffin, English colonies, revolution

Read 5 books about the holocaust in literature class

Read about how the evil bolsheviks slaughtered le innocent russian tsars who dindu nuffin

>High school

English colonies, revolution, french revolution (bad revolution), industrial revolution, ww1 (starts in 1917, american saved europe)

Read a few more books about the holocaust

Yeah thats literally all.

this always bothered me in school, there's usually short lessons on the french & Indian/seven years war and maybe something about early colonies like jamestown and of course muh pilgrims but at least 75% of colonial history was spent talking about the revolution.

Dutchbros, what do schools teach you about the American Civil War?

I guess this question applies to all all non-Americans.

Probably just that it happened.

That if you happen to live in Madrid or Castilla. Here in Galicia they teach us about Afonso X and the development of Galician-portuguese through the XII Century. Then we learn about the Castillian civil war and the """cultural oppression""" of Isabel the Catholic

they talk about jamestown and early settlements and a little about the French and Indian wars.

>>Austria was never german to begin with lol

What's your honest take on this?

something something stolen spice-trade

Not much. We're taught about the Atlantic slave trade, and that Americans at some point decided to stop buying slaves for some reason. We then were taught a number of countries that outlawed slavery at which date, with England being the first I think.
Like this user said, we are mostly just told that it happened and that it lead to the abolishment of slavery in the US.

Barely anything really, only the fact that Lincoln was assassinated. To be honest, we didn't learn a whole lot about American stuff in general past the conquistadores. The pacific theater for example was pretty much just completely left out of the WWII courses (though I can imagine a few reasons why they did that).

Texas here, can confirm

>The bronze age happened but you have to ask your Sunday school teacher about it
>Europe is the only place where things happen until they discover the rest of the world and teach people about how to human

>You really, really, realllllyyy need to understand how bad the holocaust was
>The Soviet Union was backwards but only because they were atheist
>End of school year, the teacher quit because they redrew the district lines again

Get on my level, plebs.

Lmfao exactly

My AP US history class in high school devoted a few chapters to covering the state of the pre-Columbian Americas, the rise of European colonization, and the establishment of various important colonies. Sure, after that point it passes a century or so and only starts getting thorough again at the 7 Years' War and its consequences (Proclamation of 1763, Stamp and Townsend Acts, Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts, Continental Congress) before launching into the Revolution, but to suggest that it doesn't touch on colonial America at all is ridiculous.

Found my old notes, here's the breakdown:
>the Indians had, like, no sense of private property, maaan
>Spain ruins everything, France and Netherlands start colonizing to spite Spain
>English colonies, muh Puritan work ethic
>some colonies were founded to protect freedoms, but the Eternal Anglo happens
>America also imported lots of slaves. Did I mention slaves yet? We should talk some more about slaves.

>the other time half the continent found Jesus
>tensions rise, the rise of the Republicans and Based Lincoln

Why do Germs hate themselves so much? Hitler was a kraut. Marx was a kraut. What is kraut about democracy?

Fun fact: Marx nearly got into a bar brawl for telling a bunch of anglos that germans had produced everything of value and anglos were merely poor imitators

But we did nothing wrong ;-^)

This is great!!

According to Engels, Stirner used to fuck with Marx hardcore. Funny stories about how assblasted Marx would get, I'll try and find a source.

Israel here, speaking on behalf of the pseudo-Kikes since idk what Ahmed's curriculum looks like. Our history lessons mainly consist of Shoah, The Holocaust, and the calculated and systematic enslavement/genocide of the Jews by the Germans during WWII. Now you get the idea of where that characteristic victim complex the Israelis have comes from.

I mean you can't deny the german past and DNA but I think they did a pretty good job in constructing a solid national identity after WW2. So I wouldn't consider myself german but there is still a strong political and cultural connection with the germanbros.

no prehistory, no romans, no anglo-saxons, no tudor period or reformation, no real history of the empire

such is life in english schools

Funny, when I was in school (England), we did the Romans and Tudors first in primary school and then again pretty extensively in secondary school, WW1 we covered mostly the causes (admittedly the immediate ones but also about the Triple Alliance and Entente) and a bit about trench warfare. We did WW2 twice, once about the home front and evacuees in primary school and again in senior about the causes and policy of appeasement, and also about the holocaust. Admittedly the anglo saxons were only covered basically in primary school.

It must depend on what school you go to lol, although tbf the main focus of our history was about sources etc.

Scottish here, curriculum is separate from England but most schools have leeway in what they include in their history curricula, we have 7 years of primary school & 6 years of high school, can't remember shit from primary.

>1 Quarter-year on the neolithic period, focus on remains in the British Isles and the shift towards agriculture
>3 Quarters of a year on an introduction to the Scottish wars of Independence, a series of conflicts from approximately 1290-1320 which were significant only in that we actually narrowly beat England at something.
>Second year was divided into the Transatlantic Slave Trade, The Civil Rights Movement in the US, the Early Cold War and the Holocaust
>Third year was spent looking at WW1 and the Rise of the Nazis
>Fourth Year was spent looking at socio-economic changes in Britain in the 19th century
>Fifth year we looked at the Nazis (again), the Scottish wars of Independence (again) and electoral reform in Britain from 1820-1950.
>Final year we did something completely different, studied the modernisation of Japan from 1850 to 1920 in great detail which was really interesting.

While it looks like it doesn't comprehensively cover much, the main goal of the Scottish system seems to be to teach kids the actual skills of historians, such as proper source analysis and developing arguments about different events and periods. Overall it was decent but you could practically smell the competition between the Scottish and British nationalism in the curriculum and by 5th year doing the same things over again was really tedious.

The entire German Ideology is literally Marx being assblasted at Stirner in book form. The irony is that Stirner would probably have been lost to history if Marx hadn't gone to such lengths to debunk him.

France
>Prehistory, people had mud houses and traded stuff. Also agriculture.
>Greek, Democracy.
>Romans, there was this one guy called Vercingetorix who annoyed Ceasar.
>Middle-Ages, peasants did some farming and went to church.
>Renaissance, some guy said fuck the pope.
>French Revolution, the peasants were tired of the ebil and tyrabnical king so they killed him but things were still shit because of Robespierre's Terreur.
>XIXth, steam machines, capitalism, colonialism and slavery happened. Also Napoléon saved France and steamrolled half of Europe because the french were really proud to be french.
>XXth, trench warfare is not cool, nazism and communism is also not cool. A bunch of armenians and jews died. Also, oil.

Any Nords care to enlighten me?

I don't remember much except that WW2 entirely consisted of the Nazis killing Jews and bombing Britain.

where do i begin...
how first nordic people structured china and ancient sumerian civilizations?
on how first blue eyed nordic roman emperors made roman empire prosperous, where as it all went to shit once m*ditereans took over?

In Lithuania we had this weird system where one year we would get Lithuanian history, and then the next year we would go through world history. Repeat this for 6 years until in 11th and 12th grade we go through all the world history again but this time relating world events to Lithuanian history.
The world history course was fine, though we learnt close to nothing about Africa or middle East besides Ottomans. Now Lithuanian history is where things go weird.
