History lessons are a bunch of names and dates that you have to learn by heart. We went there, we made this place, we came back with this shit, we made a church. Here's a family tree. Even when learning about battles and borders, we don't get to ask "why were they here? Why were we there?" We just know that we were at war because this king and that king disagreed. Sometimes, at best, one of them just wants control of this location or someone's wife banged the wrong duke, but that's almost only for intra European conflicts - and Jerusalem.
Ethnic social issues came very late. Jews and other wandering populations are completely ignored.
History lessons don't have to be that way, that's just the way they've decided to present these topics to remove the horrible shit their countries did during them
