Actually, what they shove down our throats is a sanitized version of history, intentionally designed to hide a lot of the most important stuff.
For example, we are taught that the War of Independence occurred because the colonists wanted to get out from under the thumb of King George.
But what gets left out is the other reason, which may be even more important, that the colonists wanted to get out from under the Bank of England.
The colonists were not allowed to print their own money, and instead were required to borrow from the Bank of England, in order to put money into circulation.
Thus, the Bank charged interest on all money being used in the colonies. It was taxation without representation, and it's why the Founding Fathers wrote about the dangers of having a central bank.
Similarly, we learned about many historical wars in Britain and throughout Europe. You may have memorized the names of kings, dates, battles, and so on. But were you ever taught the real reasons for those wars?
For example, did you learn about the bankers who profited from the wars, or the kings who declared war on neighboring countries to prevent rebellions in their own countries, or to hide the fact that they had stolen all the wealth from the treasury?
What they call history lessons are carefully designed to prevent us from learning what we need to know to protect ourselves from the scams of current governments, central banks, and business cartels.
another huge cause of wars that is never covered is simple population pressure.
too many people? well, lets invade the neighboring country with all those excess bodies and take over there land. Then the population pressure isn't as bad.
In many ways, it is the most important subject. It's likely the most complex, and certainly the most dense. It's a big ask to expect tens of thousands of people to be able to understand it well, tell it with limited bias, and teach it to children on brief timetables.
If schools did it right they would teach kids how to be historians. Teaching people how to research original sources is far better than forcing them to memorize 2nd hand knowledge of history which is easily corrupted.

Lol, they could, like, not knowingly lie?
Every country has its propaganda when it comes to history class, we're the only nation that uses the propaganda against ourselves though.
Those that willingly engage is falsities in order to corrupt children and prevent their lust for freedom are despicable.
