British schools taught British history in my day. We had to learn all about the Roman invasions and what the Romans brought to us. Then about the Battle of Hastings and the Normans follow the monarchy timeline up to present day including stuff like the Spanish Armarda, Anne Bowlynne, Catholics v Church and the fight between Monarchy and Parlament, the Plague, First and Second world wars.

All sorts. Infact History lessons at my schools only really covered English History. The term "Require" was definately ther because we had no choice and it was part of the curriculum.

However times have changed since then and perhaps they don't anymore. Shame because I love history.
