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.
