no but seriously now

I know I don't know much about US history

but I do know that over the past millennia we've had basically everyone around here. Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, the Catholic monarchs, the French... and I'm surely missing stuff

I wonder if it is and how much more dense it is than the history they teach in the US

@kitten That's cause they do not want people to know most of their history. Only the top topics, but even them only surface level and not one asking too deeply. Like it begins with the discovery of America already. You're supposed to say Columbus and nothing about it already having been known at that point in time e.g. because of the Norsemen having already been there.
Also you're not supposed to say anything about how they systematically made non-capitalism governments around the world fail.
