Why do i not learn about other countries history in school?
All I know is which countries we tried to fight and why.
But there is so much more stuff about these countries history I want to know!
Who was the first president of the USA?
Who was the first king/queen of England (or UK? I don't even know if the queen is the queen of England or the whole United Kingdom!)
When did England, Scotland, Whales and North Ireland become the UK?
When did America stop being a colonie?
Which country was the first with democracy?
Why did Japan and America fight so much in WWII?
What the duck is going on in Korea?
How did Russia get so big and what exactly is Russia? A monarchy? Democracy? Dictatorship? Republic?
What's going on with Americans and throwing away tea?
Why the duck was that Henry allowed to have six wife's?
There are so many more questions I have but I am not writing them all. There are even some questions about my own country that I want to ask.
Because all I learned about in school was something with Egyptian (but i can't remember that), how people acted in 14whatever, WWI, WWII and how the wall fell (in Berlin) in November 198something.
Well not exactly because I have the internet but I made my point!
I love learning history from different parts of the World.
But I don't want to have to go to a university to study that because even than I would have to decide to only study one smaller thing.
But I just want to learn about everything interesting that happens in the world.
I wanna know why Timbuktu is so famous?
All I really want to do is knowing everything and annoying everyone with small fun facts about stuff I should not know about.
I kinda got off topic but what I wanted to say was:
"Why do I only learn such an small amount of history when there is so much more?"
And even the small amount I learn is only the tip of the ice berg from these topics.
Today all I know about history is from Musicals, I haven't even seen in Real live. I've only ever saw animations and songs on the internet and sometimes googled stuff.
But hey at least I know how rhymes work.
