Do Western Europeans know about him?
Do Western Europeans know about him?
By name only
Never heard of him. The Russian history we learnt at school, began with Tsar Nicholas I and ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Meant to say Tsar Nicholas II.
Never heard
Really?
Even we learn more
But I suppose Russia is the most important country outside of US for the USA
Not since Russia is commie
Which Tsar(ina) was he around for?
I thought that would be uk
Really? You don't even learn about the Crimean war of 1850s?
We also learnt a lot about the Crimean War, but mostly from a British perspective.
>Even we learn more
I highly doubt that the average American high school teaches about the reigns of Ivan the Terrible, or Peter the Great.
We do learn about Florence Nightingale. History education here is a bit shit desu.
>I highly doubt that the average American high school teaches about the reigns of Ivan the Terrible, or Peter the Great.
you're right
lmao imagine learning about foreign countries
They quite literally do
Less so on Peter the Great
Did you not have to take world history?
Cold War is most important thing in US history
Also Alaska
It's such a shame that I had to google the pic bc I wasn't sure who he is. I supposed he's Pavel I, Alexander I's father so I was quite surprised with the answer. I expected Suvorov to look slightly different
>Did you not have to take world history?
no
Russia friend, yesterday while reading about the American Civil War realized something. The American Civil War took place just after the Crimean War. But the cool thing is that the social result was very similar for both countries. In Russia aristocratic officers learned that serfs were very much human. And began to respect them more after serving with them. Where in the US white officers who led black Americans into battle began to realize that blacks were too just like them in many ways. And social progress took place as a result of the hellish bloodshed.

Quite interesting
He's a meme. Never defeated a high level general
Historically, the US really isn’t important at all. In middle and high school we get something like this:
We learn about you when we talk about colonies gaining independence.
There’s usually also a chapter about slavery, so your civil war is gone over.
Then there’s a chapter about mistreament of American and Australian natives, so Manifest Destiny and the Trail of Tears are mentioned.
Then we have a short mention of you when going over the interwar period, like: ”At this point the United States was slowly becoming a world power.”
And then you’re mentioned in the chapter about WWII in the Pacific.
Obviously, you get talked about when discussing the Cold War, but even then the Soviet Union is the important one.
What state?
It's requirement in Virginia, and we explicitely learned about Ivan the Terrible, and I think, Elizabeth, not entirely sure though. It's been a few years. But I know Russia was mentioned significantly.
This is a study guide for the standardized test for it - the required one that is (BC - 1500)
>Ivan the Great threw off the rule of the Mongols, centralized power in Moscow, expanded the Russian

And for the optional part II of the class that goes from 1500 - present
One of the primary goals is to describe the impact of Peter the Great

>In Russia aristocratic officers learned that serfs were very much human
this happened after 1812
officers served side by side with peasants + they all got a vacation in pozzed with liberalism France
Thanks for the post, but what was the purpose of it?
Are you just trying to insult the US?
There's plenty of other threads for that
No, I just thought you might be curious about what other countries think is important about your history. Also, some Americans seem to think that every country focuses as much on your history as you do.
was he that polish guy
Of course. If he had lived longer, we'd have been freed of the french even faster. Based Suvorov.
