It's possible their history syllabus was just shit.

For some utterly inexplicable reason, my (Australian) school basically taught the same few topics over and over again - nothing but Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome and Australian History in junior school and then a bit of WWI and II stuff and a bunch more of the same stupid Australian history no one fucking cares about in high school.

We learnt literally not one single thing about American, British or European (excepting one term on Hitler's rise to power) history and only did about a few lessons each on Asia, Africa and the Middle East and that was in year 11 and 12, when it was an elective subject, so the majority of students never learned any of that.

There are loads of things I wouldn't have even heard of without them being mentioned in media. For example, I literally didn't even realise that America was colonised by the British until I was at least 13 or 14. I can't remember what I watched that mentioned it. Might've been National Treasure? I can't remember when I first found out that the Civil War was about slavery, but I was around the same age and it sure wasn't in school. I only found out what the War of the Roses was a few months ago when I started watching The White Queen. (Don't worry, I know none of them are perfectly accurate, I've looked up some actual information.)

And I'm a person who likes history. I don't even want to imagine how ignorant others who've never researched anything outside of school are.

We did almost fucking nothing on geography too. I remember wanting to tear my hair out when I found out my friend couldn't even find Canada on a globe. I tenuously hold out the hope she was just fucking with me.

oops that was supposed to be in reply to the second comment.
