Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that there exist people in America that did not know there was a second world war and others who didn't even know who won it!!!!

It appears that in America, only American history is taught. Now considering this is only about 200 years or so how the hell do you manage to make that last for the entire duration of school?? When I was at school we learnt about the World Wars and winning lots of battles such as The Armarda (lots of boats and Spanish), Medival History (grow onions next to carrots to prevent diseases), Tudor (lots of people getting beheaded) etc. etc.

I may have mentioned before that I went to a museum in St. Louis. It took us five minutes to tour it. I kept asking my mum where all the information was. Over here we have lots of broken pots and dead stuffed animals and towering dinosaurs...
