I'd guess it'd be pretty hard to find an American born citizen that hasn't heard of the sinking by at least teenage years so I'm wondering how much it's known about in other countries.

It wasn't that big of a deal before the movie. It was just, they called it unsinkable and it sank on its first voyage, symbol of man's hubris, and that sort of thing. Then there was that rich asshole who dove down to the wreck and started looting the dead bodies, which offended some people but others were like dude I totally want to buy a pocketwatch from the Titanic that would be awesome!
Young people after the movie came out: "OH MY GOD, you mean the Titanic was REAL?!?!"
