History class for me in NZ was NZ history, British history, and the world wars. Gave me a taste to read and learn more as an adult though!

It's the same like everywhere else and there's only so much you can cram into history classes. Every West European learns about the 2nd world war, 1st world war, the French-German war of 1871(?), the 30 Year War, the French revolution.. everything relevant to Europe. Brits will learn a tiny bit about India as a former colony. Same with Americans focusing more about their Independence war with Britain and maybe the Mexican-American wars and Pearl Harbor.
I'm interested what they teach you in history classes in NZ. We can't afford to limit ourselves when the World Histories, new friends are just a click away. It's our choice.
I'm interested in hearing more from you. Knowledge Is Power.
Edit: Less is more

These were history classes alongside our normal classes, so once or twice a week (not full year formal courses). NZ focused history usually revolved around the land wars, Maori mythology, the Treaty of Waitangi, and the settlement of the country. World War 1 usually revolved around the ANZAC troops (Gallipoli) and World War 2 was more general across the whole war, a following of the timeline etc, mostly on the European theater (not the Pacific). When we learned British history is was usually related to the 1800s and industrialisation.
