I saw this post on reddit that asked British people how public schools in Britain teach about the Revolutionary War and the major consensus was they they really don't. From the British side, the American Revolution was just an extension of the larger conflict with France and the American Revolution was merely a proxy war. One redditor summed it up best by paraphrasing M. Bison from the Street Fighter Movie. For the US, the Revolutionary War was the most important event in our history. For the British, it was a Tuesday. The British have a history that extends over 2000 years, so they have to cover a lot more and the Americas was just one small corner of the 25% of the globe they conquered.
It's really weird to think historical events that were so important to us are just blips on the radar to everyone else. It made me wonder about other European countries in relation to the US and how history is taught. Does the average Frenchman even know what the Louisiana Purchase is? It was a big deal for us cause it basically doubled the size of the United States, but to the French it must just be the sale of some land the French weren't using anyway, and they had way bigger things going on considering Napolean was the one that sold us that land.
