From the movie "The Americanization of Emily"
Emily Barham: I believe in honor, service, courage, and fair play, and cricket, and all the other symbols of British character. Which have only civilized half the world!
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: You British plundered half the world for your own profit, let's not pass it off as the age of enlightenment.
History taught in school rarely gets into that level of detail.Teaching history in a "multi-cultural" society would, one supposes, include teaching the defects of all the cultures.Schools minister rejects lessons about colonialism and slave trade in case they ‘lower standards’
Petition condemning curriculum for failing to teach ‘Britain’s role in colonisation’ is rebuffedwww.independent.co.uk
They are so predictable, stuck in the thirties and with philistines in charge of our education.
How can you best teach history in a multi culural society ?
Obviously by using your white supremacy to gloss over the aspects that make you look bad.
Its more of a collection of actions and dates. I suppose most western countries fall short when we record their actions to minorities. The UK certainly does and so does the US.
How can you put a positive spin on slavery ? Well, you cant so best ignore it.
If you consider the bogus statue wars from last year it all makes sense.
Educated folk - We need to pull down the statues of slavers and other twats !
Dumb reactionary - You cant do that , its our history !!
Educated folk - OK we will put a plaque on it that explains what they did !
Dumb reactionary - Um !!
All - why has this twat got a statue in our town square ?
The establishment uses the teaching of history to reinforce its control over people.
OK, I'm intrigued. I get Crimean War and The intervention during the Russian Revolution, but that's the third/fourth invasion?pfff, trading slaves is a minor part of British sins' story, the whole UK History is a set of opression.
I wonder, do they teach Opium wars with China or that the UK invaded Russia at least 3 times?

Opium wars were fun, great Britain ended up as the biggest drugs cartel of the 19th century.
"History is a set of lies that people have agreed upon," -Napoleon IHistory has very little to do with the truth of what actually happened.
So no actual invasions then. By your logic so does Russian historiography, are you seriously saying Russia was never an expansionist power?OK, I'm intrigued.

Western historiograohy puts everything upside down, as if it was Russian expansion, but Kushka belonged then to a Russian protectorate Khiva.

then, in 1720 British empire, being an ally of Sweden sent the fleed headed by armiral Norris to invade Russia in St. Petersburg, but having arrived Norris disvovered a strong Russia fleet and strong fortress Kronstadt and preferred to retreat.
it was, though unlike Britain most of Russian expansion was via neutralising absolutely deadly external threats.So no actual invasions then.

Really? So how many times has Siberia or Turkmenistan, or any other central Asian tribal groupings invaded Russia? OK I grant you that the Mongols kicked your butts, but generally Artillery and rifles tend to beat Bows arrows and the occasional musket. You use the same excuse we used to invade African lands, "OMG, the Xhosa/Zulus (insert tribe name here) are on our borders and they might invade one day, better get in first to "neutralise" the (non existant) threat!"it was, though unlike Britain most of Russian expansion was via neutralising absolutely deadly external threats.So no actual invasions then.

So, you cannot really equialize them.
Many of the less pleasant parts of American history are eliminated or sparsely covered in US classrooms as well.
Siberia is and was empty, Russian expansion there was not accompanied with suppression or exploitation of local population, except of one or two initial battles for PART of Siberia everything was peaceful and quiet.Really?

Russisn expansuin tgere was not accompanied with suppression of local population
lol, you are a clown, a lier and most probably a paid trollLOL Siberian You're a clown, a liar and quite possibly a paid troll. Sadly for you and your employer, you have ZERO ability to persuade others to your ridiculous claims.
and what has Mongolia to do with Russia's expansion?Really? So how many times has Siberia or Turkmenistan, or any other central Asian tribal groupings invaded Russia?
