Was briefly mentioned, never taught.
In France not even a mention about it if i remeber .
That’s nuts considering the French helped with it, both militarily and financially. The Americans then didn’t even pay France back, and that caused problems with France. Eventually, the US bought the Louisiana territory from the French so the French could continue to fund their fight against the British. Despite the rude lack of payment by the Americans, the French gave the US the Statue of Liberty as a gift to celebrate the USA’s 100th birthday, liberal democracy, and the abolition of slavery.
In Estonia we got a brief history lessor for most bigger countries, including the US and since the US is such a new nation it was fairly brief and most of it was skipped but the revolution and civil war were mentioned. Our history class focused mostly on Estonian history and it’s neighbors.
From Latin America.
It was kind of like a blurb in the text book, basically.
But it gives context to other revolutions going on in the Americas before.
It is mentioned, mostly because the norwegian constitution takes inspiration from the american and the french ones. Though as revolutions go, the american one is considerably less covered than (one of) the french or russian ones.
