With regret history teachers probably do teach your version, if any version at all.

History as taught today is very strange.
Speaking to young relations they usually learn about The Tudors , then right through to WW1.

What do they think happened between these events, or indeed before. Although they are interesting why are we so besotted with The Tudors as opposed to other era's

Of course The British Empire not 100% perfect but compared with the Belgium , Russian German , Portugeese and Spanish it stands up well.
