Sorry but from three genrations of G.C.S.E History (With out higher eduaction in history) you will learn about World War II from the Alies perspective (Us really good, them bad), bring up the German perspective and they change the subject (used to love doing that.), the battle of Hastings, The American west (three times in four years!!!) and the Industrual Revolution and very little else. Geography is not much better. You get the Nile, San Palo in Brizal, different types of river formations (ox-bow lakes, etc) and the weather system.
You learn what you need to pass and little else.
I got twenty on the test yea!

But still Gabriel. When you studied WW2 in school surely you must have followed the course of the war? The devastation of the German economy? How Hitler seized power? And so on. And you probably started reading at the beginning of the war, the anschluss, invasion of Poland etc. When we studied WW2 we jumped in to the middle of the war. The only countries we even heard mentioned were the UK, the US, Canada, France, Russia and Germany. Nothing of Italy, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Finland etc. And our history teacher didnīt even mention the fact that Germany was at war with Russia when the allies invaded...
