And "European History"
And "Western History"
ANd "World History"
Don't know where you went to school, but the only area left out WAS Africa - except for all the colonial powers and their escapades.
All of our history classes, starting in the first grade, almost went chronologically from Europe, Asia and India, to American, then State, and finally Local history by the time you got to 12th grade.
South American and African history was only mentioned as an extension of the great European colonial powers, if at all.
This is an excellent idea and loooong overdue.
