Like the other guy said...history during school consists of the monarchy until you get to 14 where you then spend the next 3 years learning about the world wars, american great depression, wall street crash etc.

You think it's better there? They even ask what language we speak here.....in England.....

At school I learnt about the Roman Empire and as we went on we did cover the British Empire. Early on here it's mainly about the Tudor and Victorian era's and once you reach high school a massive bulk of it is spent in detail on the two world wars.

And pardon me for saying this, but I'm not real excited about the prospect of reliving the whole "red jersey" era.

Like the 1981 Red Sea Defense?
