I’m an American do you really think I learned that? As if Us Americans would lower Ourselves to learning about wars We weren’t involved in and didn’t start. Lol

I did, but it focused on British royalty effing with their german, french, and spanish cousins around the world. didn't hear this about Swedish cousins effing their polish cousins (in the 1600s?). meh...was there a take away that we missed...could it have prevented any of the 'world wars'? so sweden used to be a bad ass, but not so much now? poland used to be a big dog, but not so much now

So world history for you was learning solely about the 1900s world wars and a very, very small amount of European royalty. Got it.

Exactly. If it didn’t have to do with American imperialism then it wasn’t important enough for them to teach Us about in school. Whatever it takes to boost that national pride in one’s own young boon of a country throwing its weight around against the rest of the world and basically sticking Our nose in business that didn’t involve Us but We made it involve Us. America doesn’t get invited to the party? America creates the party
