[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I understand that was intentional to avoid talking about the Vietnam war-- history ended at WWII. An additional benefit of ending history at World War II is that you also don't have to talk about the Korean War. [/quote] It has always been that way. Not intentional. Time driven. [/quote] One of my favorite history classes was a high school class titled "US History After 1945". We learned about Vietnam, Korea, the civil rights movement, Watergate. It felt so much more relevant than learning about the details of the Revolution. It was an elective, though, not required. [b]Of course my mom (born in 1950) was horrified that those events were considered "history".[/b][/quote] How odd. Why?[/quote]
