How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?

[Thor]

We're taught nothing about the American Revolution because it's an incredibly minor part of our history. Following the revolution, about 65 years later, we became the largest empire ever and brought the world capitalism. This country's history is taught from the Romans, Vikings, Normans, Saxons - to modern history, WW1, WW2 & The Cold War. In that timescale, a hell of a lot has happened, many, many invasions, new civilisations etc.

We do have much more history to fit in

Yes, there is much more history concerning the UK compared to the relatively recent arrival of the US.

A few years back there was a fellow from England that I was working with for awhile. We got to talking about his home country and he told me how he lived in a 250 year old house when he was growing up. At one point they were redoing part of the house and they discovered some old artifacts under the floorboards or behind a wall (I forget which). I was amazed that he lived in such an old house. He replied that in the states a 250 year old house is very old whereas in England, a 250 year old house is barely broken in.
