It isn’t whatsoever in Poland
Germany: I got 45 min in History (Advanced course/‘Leistungskurs’), 3 10 min presentations in English class. Short story: “Lincoln didn’t like slavery, States seceded, war, North won, L. abolished slavery formally, got shot, racism persisted.”
Sounds like they got their American wars mixed up. That was the Civil War not Revolutionary War.
Canadian. I’m not sure it’s even taught in Canadian schools other than “Americans revolted against Britan while Canadians stayed loyal to the empire. We obtained independence diplomatically instead of through revolution” and “United Empire Loyalist” means the person’s family was American but fled to Canada in order to stay in the empire instead of join the revolutionaries.
I only learned about why Canadians stayed loyal after school by researching it myself. The high taxes imposed by the king didn’t affect northern colonies as much as it did our southern neighbours. Also, Britian would have had a much easier time with a naval invasion of Canada if they needed to squash a revolution (which is why the French settlers of Quebec didn’t rebel even though France assisted the American revolutionaries).
Argentinian here. The American Revolution is presented as one of the causes of the Argentine War of Independence.
As someone who didn’t take history beyond the age of… 14? I learned precisely nothing about the American Revolution
