I first learned about it from horrible histories as a boy

Shakespeare's Richard III.

So I guess I'm more cultured than the rest of you plebs.

I only know it was a succession crisis with two families throwing shit at each other and that's it.

>born in America
>end up learning about the Wars of the Roses at the age of 9 from massive books about the british monarchy
I think I was probably the most informed 9 year old on the medieval British monarchy in North America. I had the family tree of every monarch dating back to Alfred basically memorized and could recite the years each king/queen reigned and could lecture a bit on what each king did.
Surprisingly I was never diagnosed with autism although it's in the family.

>>war of the roses is covered in 8th year history books

Wait, really? How in-depth are Russian history classes? Even here in the US classes where we tend to be Anglocentric pre-Revolution, we didn't cover the War of the Roses.

It's very Eurasia centric and does an alright job at it.
The main focus is Russia and by extension eastern/northern Europe and all the nations we've interacted with. Not counting mongols, Poland probably gets the most attention.
This ate about 70% of the books with good detail.
France eats most of the remaining Euro history but nobody is really forgotten.

Meanwhile: South america only covered in a context of discovery and early colonization. There are probably no countries there.
Africa is mentioned as existing (once), South east Asia doesn't exist until Vietnam.

We've been through at least one revision since then, maybe even two (i'm 27) so I have no idea how detailed books are anymore or what's the focus. Putin was quite interested in making new history books as far as I remember.

We also had "history of the city" classes which covers well, entire history of my city (aka Russian Imperial dynasty and their hangouts) and related European history. So the actual history class had more space to work with.

what an interesting concept, to have a history class devoted to your city, it's seems medieval

at most you can buy a book about my town's history through the centuries at the generalstore, or at the bibliotheca

The YGO game is quite literally the historical War of the Roses with the people palette swapped with YGO characters.
