How The American Revolution Is Taught In Europe

Came across this while doing some planning. Interesting that for the most part, it's NOT taught.

The there's how some Japanese schools address or don't, Pearl Harbor:

I get that European history is long and complex-then again, we do teach a bit through Renaissance, Reformation, the World Wars, and why so many came to US.

Japan? Again I see a bit of reasoning. The issues with Japan at the very least go back to the 1800's, Meiji Restoration. Then there were the issues of oil and steel in the 1930's. Sooo, while nothing justifies the sneak attack, the problems were not without some provocation.

English schools don’t teach about Northern Irish history at all, given I’ve had to explain to idk how many English people that Northern Ireland is a country, and that is something that has a real, direct, and current impact on England, I’m not surprised that the American revolution is given little to no story time.

Likewise here about both English history that isn't directly connected to US History and the only mention of Ireland has to do with the famine and the influx of Irish in the 19th C.
