The US isn't as important to people as Americans like to think it is.
I mean, I would think "A major country on the global stage was literally founded as one of our colonies" might be a bit relevant.
In Spain we study the American Revolution, as the first of the liberal democratic revolutions, in as much detail as our own civil war. Or we did 20+ years ago. So I guess the Brits do too and the other commenter is just teasing or something.
Nah, we spend as much time on the American revolution as on our own civil war. Which is basically nothing.
I think I heard about cavilers and Roundheads in primary school, and that's it. No reason for the civil war, no discussion about what Cromwell did in Ireland.
