In the US most world history classes cover the greeks, romans, and the UK, but leave out most asian, african, south american, eastern europe, and middle eastern history. In other countries, what does world history focus on or leave out?

History class in highschool is meant to educate you about your culture, where you come from, the history of your own society. In America, the history of our society comes from Europe; China is irrelevant until World War II to our history. You don't get much time in school to learn History (not as much as you should, anyway), so it's only the important stuff that you're given. European and American history is WAY more relevant to your life than whateverthehell happened in Africa 500 years ago.
