[Unbreakable.]

*is summoned by the mention of her name* :P

We learnt: Egyptians, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, about Knights and Kings and Castles, the Stone Age and it's different stages and how people lived in a community etc., a lot of Empires [most of which were German I guess, even if one of them is the Holy Roman Empire], French Revolution, Napoleon, World War I & II.

We do learn about English and American History in English class, maybe the upside of having it as an extra subject. I remember learning about the British Empire, Apartheid, Australia and even Irish History. I definitely talked about the American Civil War, but that was in Social Studies class in my 12th year. Social Studies here being a mix of history, politics and economics. Also, a lot of English and American History is still known about here when you don't learn about it in school because of its representation in popular media etc. We also learn about the New World and the settlers etc.

On World War II and how History is different depending on where you live: we don't dare to leave out the more shameful parts of our History. Instead, they beat you over the head with it at least three or four times during your school career and make you feel guilty and personally responsible for the Holocaust. Quite frankly, I don't think it is ALL the legit to do it like that. Hopefully they will find better ways to teach about it and teach personal responsibility for the individual over what is going on in their country.

We also learn a lot about post WWII Germany and how it was split into the BRD and the DDR and what life in the DDR [it has a different name in English but ceeb to look it up, it was the part of Germany that the Soviets got] was like etc.
