Of course in US schools, the genocide of the indigenous inhabitants is usually whitewashed; the curriculum sort of leaves you with the impression that North America was some vast, sparsely-populated land the white folks were just looking for some "elbow room". But the European colonial period, here that's usually just colored blobs on the map. I'm curious as to how this is taught in European classrooms. Any sort of reflection at all on how evil this was?
Portugal probably has a better education on colonialism than France and England since they had a revolution that ended the dictatorship

interesting. Do you think this is due to the post-revolution period in Portugal where people are like "well look we did the revolution now we are the good guy (tm), no more liability" mindset?
