How Much Non-American History Did You Learn in High School?

I graduated from a tough city high school in 1974, and most of the non-American history covered in school seemed to be British history. I suppose that is the most useful for an American student, Britain was the predecessor civilization to America and was where we got our initial laws from as well as much of our initial population.

Had Texas history in 9th grade then US history and then world history.

Some. We had a World History class and a European History class. This being the U.S., naturally, both classes were one and the same.

The football coach/history teacher was reading a few pages ahead of the class so we didn't get much detail. Nothing on Latin America...maybe some world history up to WW-I and basic ancient Egypt, Greek and Roman history. Africa? Asia? Never got there.

I had one world history class in high school, led by a lousy instructor, and I don't recall learning much in the class.
