Everyone jokes about polite Canada until you read the WWI chapters and realize the Geneva Convention was basically just written as a list of patch notes for things Canadians did in the trenches.

Canada is weird they take credit for things they didn’t do like burning the white house in the War of 1812.

Russia has a lot more things that just URSS:
Zars, Novgorod princedom, Rurikid dinasty…
(And my knowledge of Russian history is pretty low)

The only issue is take with the US depiction in this meme is the pristine image of it. Drench the whole thing in blood, and then its how US history books portray everything. They do not shy away even a little from the bloody history of the nation, the people’s slaughtered, or the wars lost like Vietnam. They have the focus on Ameican Manifested Destiny sure. But they dont hide the horrors or the death.
The problem, is most students do not actually read the textbooks. This was true when I was in school 20 years ago, and its even more true now. Most students tune history out, barely read their textbooks, and do just enough to pass the tests, usually by studying the study guides over actually reading the text.
