The British Museum is basically just a Homelander trophy room.

For my a level in germany we had to learn the whole political system and history of great britain. It was very much compared to other classes. I Had the luck to get the opportunity to change to latin. That was much easier.

This is how every country portrays themselves in all history books. It is not exclusive to English people to make themselves look good.

I would say as an American, the amount of history I learned AFTER I left school, showed me that you can just switch this to America.

For all the British saying their taught their own horrors…anybidea what happened to Ireland, other than having a grandad from there? No, unless you study history at university, you aren’t taught even the slightest bit of the blight of the British empire

This should just be, how everyone writes themselves in their own history books vs how they actually were.

This just isn’t accurate. Us British are very aware of out imperial past and the things we did, we get taught all of it for the most part lmao, our teaching does not shy away from the brutality we partook in
America/Japan in their history books vs the rest of the world, is FAR more accurate

I love that yanks (primarily) make this comparison because they cant imagine a country acknowledging their wrongs or teaching kids anything except “Woo we’re number 1”.

Oh no, we very much know we are the villains. It just makes it funnier when you see other countries make the same terrible choices we made

You’re definitely not from England.
We learnt a lot about how the British Empire fucked over a lot of people when I was in highschool.
