More like: Only Americans get taught so much about specific battles in school. Elsewhere the focus for WW2 lies more on what led to it and the like.
Yes. The reason I learned about the Battle of the Bulge is from Battlefield 1942, not school.
I learned way more history from video games then I ever learned from school
my school didn’t even focus on the battles besides a very basic timeline, no excuse
Honestly, for you it may seem that way. For me other things you might have very little to no knowledge about seem like basic things everyone should know. It just so happens, that I don’t specifically enjoy learning about moments in time where we were particularly intent on killing each other. My interest in history tends to be at the same time larger and smaller in scale, either following specific people or society in general.
