    “Was it Pearl Harbour?” Tonnes of countries were involved already, it was already WW2 for a while. The blitz of London was started and ended by the time the US was attacked at the very end of 1941. They were plenty happy to let everyone else fight it out and then when they got attacked suddenly they were the altruistic heroes of man.

      our history books (Every country’s honestly) are choke full of propaganda. I only noticed because I got formal education from 3 different countries.

      I found it very interesting for example … that Spain does not teach about the inquisition or the spanish american war.

      Flip side, in the US there’s nothing in our books about any of Europe’s history at all.

        US history sounds even worse than our Canadian history classes. Just complete garbage. And then you see what people are learning in other countries and you have to wonder why we act like 10-12 years isn’t enough time to fit in any reasonable amount of our, honestly, very short history.
