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.

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 :>)
