    As a high school graduate I can totally tell you the history of Europe.

    So first it was 1066, then the Victorians, then the second world war, then it was now. That’s it, all of European history. Now perhaps some Americans think another historically important event occurred, but it can’t have, because no one mentioned it.

      I think some other stuff may have happened, but none of it was really oil/freedom related so we learned about confederate generals and Mormon pioneer history instead.

      And the scariest part about history I learned in school is that the Vikings always took over the world because they don’t need a Cassus Belli.
