That white men made the country cuz they wunted power n sheeit and we all enslaved the blacks and killed ten billion indians and traded slaves until Martin Luther King Jr. came along and restored power back to his powerful people.

>>70858846
That American balkanizaton is a new phenomenon and all the English settlers of the colonies were exactly the same. Then I learn about Boston Puritans, Barbadians who founded Charleston, Virginians and Jamestown, and Philadelphia Quakers, as well as the non-Anglo groups like the Dutch WIC traders and the Acadians.

That we are literally Americans who decided to stick with the queen, except our part of the country which was literally just Americans who the British sent some gunboats to assert control over and annex.

So basically we're Americans.

Some of us were french, but the british took them over too.

is this a thread for new worlders only?

what would you learn? your own history

>>70864651
USA and Canada are pracically the same country aside from geography and crown allegiance. I always found the "rivalry" contrived. It's mostly British shit-stirring. Canadians group into the same subregions of the country that Americans do. Saskatewan and Manitoba are basically the Dakotas and Nebraska, Alberta is basically like Colorado, BC is basically your Washington, Ontario is basically a part of the Great Lakes midwest, and Maritimes are very similar to New England. The only oddball is Quebec for historical reasons. Quebec's closest American cousin is Lousiana.

NAU will probably happen some day.

That we are one of the luckiest countries in the planet and we have been losing time fighting ourselves and repeating the sames mistakes for centuries just because we can 'spare' it. That luck is starting to run out though, if we don't improve ourselves by gathering some common sense we are going to dissolve at some point of the century.

Prehistory
>We were tribes who worshipped unique gods
1300-1809
>We were the eastern part of sweden
1809-1917
>We were torn apart form sweden
>We became a very autonymous grand duchy
>We were actually oppressed by russification policies which we fought to tooth and nail to repel
1917
>Russian empire falls apart
>We break the chains of oppression
1918
Immediately after independence the class tensions had risen too high and Communist reds declare a coup d'etat on the democratic government by seizing the biggest cities and the parliament. Mannerheim and German empire repel the reds and pave the way for true finnish patriotism
1939
>Soviet union demands territories guranteed to it by molotov-ribbentrop pact
>We say no
>Soviets set up a falseflag shelling of their troops to disarm our non-aggression pact and invade us.
>They estimated that the war would last for 2 weeks at max and casualties would be nonexistant
>War lasts for 4 months and soviets lose 400 thousand men and never reached our capital
1940
>Germans assure us that with their help we can get back the territories lost in Winter war
>We go in as co-belligerents to the continuation war
>Well germans couldn't last.
>We forced soviet union to reach an armistice by forcing very high casualties to them in multiple defensive battles, assuring that it'd be too costly to take us.
1945-modern day
We stayed neutral and now have one of the best living standards in the world and get ranked highest globally in many things

we learn a little bit about how we civilised the world (as best we could anyway since they're not englishmen.) e.g. indians are especially thankful for the railways, wales and scotland are considered developed countries etc etc. it's not all roses though! extremist catholic terrorists hated our freedom and with support from (((them))) created the terrorist papist-puppet state """Southern Ireland""".
We also won ww1/ww2 pretty much singlehandely. Oh, and, I sort of shouldn't be posting this (Official secrets act blah blah) but we used to have knife and gun fighting drills under the guise of P.E. (gym) in anticipation for our planned wars with continental europe and argentina.

our history sucks
First you have a bunch of tribes we literally feel no connection to.
Than the east romans fuck their shit and we become subjects of the emprah, but we don't identify as those either, so fuck em.
Than we get free just in time for the Turks to take over from the Geyreeks in oppressing our shit.
Than we have 6 gorilion lessons about muh slavery and muh resistance and muh religious freedoms.
Than we get free, actually do a LITTLE ITSY BITTI of cool shit, literally the first actual progress as a people in relevant memory.
He get some actual culture, bookz n shit, we develop, we have clear goals and GOOD leadership.
Than it's goes downhill HARD. Second Balkan war, WW1, WW2, Socialism, Post-socialism, there are no literal breaks on the train to hell.

nothing lol (fuck this country) we're not in the USA

We learn about our country just quickly (for example i've never learned anything in school about napoleon, we barely did Clovis and Charlemagne. I hardly remember learning (in school) anything substantial about the french revolution) and then it's basically important moments in history, the last century, and stuff like the difference between the decolonization of India and the decolonization of Algeria...

Canadian history class is fucking trash. I'm pretty sure it's a marxist plot to make it bad on purpose in an effort to make us hate our own country because they focus on the boring and guilt inducing shit and leave all the cool shit out.

1) Start of history, first civilizations around Egypt, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, China, India, Iran. Huge emphasis on very early Anatolian civilizations like Lydians, Hittites etc.

2)Pre-Islamic Turkic history, first Turkic states, the religion they believed in, wars, Turkic leaders, state policies etc.

3) Islamization of Turks, first Turkic tribes to move west, Seljuks, Invasion of Anatolia and the first battles against Byzantines. Also the period of 4 caliphs, Ummayads, Abbasids, Ayyubids, Mamluks etc. and of course Ottomans, which dominates much of the history classes. The lifes of most Sultans, reforms they passed, the territorial evolution of the empire, vassals, land distrubution, military system, minorities of the empire, foreign relations, wars they have waged, rebellions, janissary decadance, all from the Foundation Period of Ottoman Empire to Dissolution period(1299-1922).

And then of course the Ataturk period, starting from his birth at 1881. His early life, the schools he completed, his first military experiences. Balkan Wars, Tripoli War, WWI, Gallipoli and other stuff. Signing of Armistice of Mudros, the situation in Turkey, the Greek invasions, Wilson principles. The fronts of the national struggle and the war of independence. The opening of the first parliament(Grand National Assembly), Turkish guerrillas fighting against invading French and Greeks. Liberation of east and the treaties, libereation of the south and of course the defeat of Greeks and their expulsion from Anatolia once and for all. The Treaty of Laussanne. After the peace talks and the contents, the early problems Turkey faced, reforms Ataturk had passed, first attempts at industrilization, Ataturk's foreign policy, Ataturk's principles, the abolishment of the Sultanate and the end of the Empire. The abolishment of the Caliphate and secularization, reforms and more reforms.

And then very briefly WWII and that's it.

Do you guys not have classes specifically aimed at <Your Country> History?

We've got American History and World History courses over here as separate things.

>>70889343
I took a geography class in 9th grade, world history class in 10th grade (had the worst teacher ever, didn't learn a thing), then US history in 11th grade. In 12th grade people usually take government.
