I wonder how far history classes go in other countries.

we only did up until the Spanish Civil War. I guess everything afterwards was considered too recent.

@kitten we (Germany) did ww1 and 2 in huge detail, but everything else pretty shallow, regardless of earlier or later

@4censord oh damn. in that regard we did do a lot regarding earlier stuff, up from the Phoenicians I can remember

(but I guess the fact that we've had essentially everyone hanging around here in Iberia kinda helps)

@kitten well we touched on mostly everything
But like, a few years of 20th century vs like 6 or so years for everything else

@aroma @kitten potser, a Toledo fa una dècada no tenia res després de la Guerra Civil, fins i tot se saltaven el que donaven en els apunts d'Educación para la Ciudadanía (......encara que això era en part per concertat catòlic

@kitten furthest thing i got was definitely post cold-war i'd say

pathetic piss kitten @kitten@elizabeth.cat

wait, no, I remember the iron curtain being mentioned in school. Italian blackshirts and Mussolini climbing to power too

but yeah, stuff in Spain? not beyond the civil war

pathetic piss kitten @kitten@elizabeth.cat

okay, so, Spain doesn't do much modern history stuff, but from what I'm seeing we do study way older stuff

hell, I still remember being talked about the archeology stuff found in the... Trinchera del Ferrocarril? I think that was the place. Carthaginians being here and the Punic Wars definitely too.

@kitten i have a warped perspective on this because i took latin class, which includes quite a bit of ancient history, but regular history class basically moves past medieval times by 7th grade. the A-level education (last 2 years, for me it was 10th/11th grade) is exclusively post-ww2, which is also the timeframe you had to pick your final exam topic from; i.e. you are basically forced to do some kind of cold war topic. (i did the space race :>)

@kitten Countries don’t like to talk about the bad things they did, I guess, so little Franco?

My present home country excepted, but they do it so badly that 90% of Germans are incapable of acting normal around Jews and come off as super obsequious

Example: in the UK we learned about the roaring 20s in the US as context for the Wall Street crash, but ignored that Britain was already in recession for much of the 1920s (thanks in no small part to the economic policy of one Winston Churchill)

@dpk to be fair in the case of Spain it would be a bit underwhelming to explain.

"so, yeah, the rebels won, and during 35 years people got sent to work camps or sentenced to death if they dared challenging the regime. but like, no other country really cared about it so we were just kinda isolated and that's it. there were some guys wearing white hoods who kinda did try to do something about it, but they also did bad stuff and harmed people after the dictatorship ended, so we don't talk about that."

German History, Nazis mentioned, covering my bases with CW

@kitten - I (Germany) remember early on WE did some rome stuff, medieval and colonial periods. Had a huge Focus on the 20th century thought, especially the earlier half with WW1, the Weimar Republic, Hitler and the Nazis and WW2. Second half pretty shallow though, with Focus on the Berlin wall and reunification.

As already mentioned by @4censord there ist a huge Focus on the 20th century for like a solid 2-3 years.

@kitten 6th grade: Stone Age, Bronze Age, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Roman Empire, Fall of the Roman Empire, Migration Period
7th grade: Franconian Empire, Middle Ages, Holy Roman Empire, Absolutism and stuff
8th grade: Enlightenment, French Revolution, Napoleon, Revolutions of 1848, Industrialization Founding of the German Empire, WW1
9th grade: Weimar Republic, Nazi rule, Holocaust, WW2. This is the year when you visit a Concentration Camp.
10th grade: post-war Germany, Occupation, the building of the war, history of both states, the east/west world order, reunification, European Integration. We stopped with the election of Merkel, she was still in office back then.
From 11th grade, the mode switched from telling a continuous history more to looking at specific aspects.
11th grade: Social Aspects of the early modern period, more detailed look at the revolutions of 48 and stuff like that
12th grade was mainly “how could fascism have happened”, weaknesses of the Weimar system, and a more detailed look at the 20th century, particularly the US-Soviet rivalry including stuff like Korea, Cuba, Vietnam
