Thanks for the fascinating bit of history- most of our U.S. education glosses over events outside this country, and I find ir fascinating to earn about events other countries fi d celebration worthy.

So I've heard. I think what we learned about the US was one test's worth, covering the major points of your history, starting at Columbus and ending with WWII. It included how your political system works. And in geography, we of course had to learn the states, some major cities, mountain ranges, major lakes and rivers. Same thing with North and South America, Europe (in much greater detail), Asia, Africa and Australia.

We only gloss over events OUTSIDE our country? My highschool classes just glossed over events in general.

So true. It's very interesting to see American history as taught to the Japanese. I contend that neither country teaches the truth. The truth probably lies somewhere in between the two versions.

On American in history we went over the civil rights movement (and lack of before it) and also the VietNam war. From what I gathered from the lessons America was messed up
