I wonder what [insert country] history classes are like if they're a brand new nationEmily Shephard wrote: 17 Nov 2025, 21:19 History classes got repetitive for me when it was just about our country over... and over... and over... and over again
do they cover just cover the country that colonized the country they are now, the colonization, then modern events?

From what I remember (as an example) we covered WW2 and the extent of covering other nations was a few of the main events and how they contributed to the war.Elmo Break wrote: 17 Nov 2025, 21:22I wonder what [insert country] history classes are like if they're a brand new nationEmily Shephard wrote: 17 Nov 2025, 21:19 History classes got repetitive for me when it was just about our country over... and over... and over... and over again
Other than that, it would primarily focus on us

We had a separate history class for the U.S and Hawaiian. The U.S took Hawaii like 66 years ago, so for us, they just split the history.

Well I was curious since yk - I haven't really had much of an education about specific country histories outside of historical documentaries on tv (I love watching the war ones or ones regarding a royal family) - or in regards to us specificially, it's just the history of this country- so basically it's...
Also regarding World History, COVID hit that year when I was to take it and while I was in class, we had a lot we didn't cover due to people being sick and I forgot a lot of what was being taught.

Reducio
1. The Mayans, Olmecs and Incans (I have only been taught this in 7th grade)
2. The Native Americans/Indigenous People (this has only been taught to me in like 3rd grade)
3. The explorers that found our nation and the other Americas (latin and south) (Amerigo Vespucci, Christopher Columbus, etc. We were specifically taught more about Christopher Columbus)
4. The Colonization from England and the 13 colonies + The mayflower + salem witch trials
-- Jamestown and Roanoke was mentioned in passing but we didn't cover it really until college. I did a whole paper on the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
5. The Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution + French and Indian War (before American Revolution)
6. Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence, and The Constitution + The Bill of Rights + George Washington
7. The Louisiana Purchase
8. The Antebellum Period (this was covered more in college, it was a mere collection of words in school)
9. The Civil War + Gettysburg Address (in 3rd grade I did a project that I had to present on Ulysses S Grant) + The Birth of A Nation (I didn't really see this movie in either college or school but I did watch it at home)
10. World War I + Great Depression + 19th Amendment (women's rights to vote) + Prohibition + The New Deal + CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps)
11. Pearl Harbor (what got us into World War II), a summary of the WWII internationally + The Cold War
12. The Red Scare (Communism + McCarthyism* McCarthyism is essentially a term that can was used to accuse and investigate people in power for communism)
13. Desegregation and The Civil Rights Movement + Vietnam War (I've admittedly not learned a lot about the Vietnam War from school or college, it's been a brief mention)
14. And finally.. I know there are things in between but I don't remember what they are.. but.. finally... 9/11.
Soon.. Covid19 is gonna make it into our history books like the Bubonic Plague did
for world history.
Also, there are some topics I intentionally left out because while it is taught and is known, it's probably best I don't mention them because of how bad the groups are. But anyways, I learned more about these groups in college.

I was gonna say it above but someone quickly quoted me lmao (looking at you)- but there are some topics I didn't mention, whether because I was exclusively taught that in college or because of how bad the subject is in association.
I won't mention here what the bad ones are but I will mention one of the ones I exclusively learned in college was about Unions and the Labor Movements :nod: because it was otherwise a very (very very very) brief bulletpoint in school.
