In thinking back on my K-12 education (and my college education, to be fair), it seems like we were always given a very triumphalist and straightforward narrative of the American revolution, while learning about the revolutions of other countries (like the French revolution) was always much more nuanced. How are or how have students in other countries been taught about the American revolution, and is it more nuanced/less triumphalist than the story most American students are told?
Hi readers!

Personal anecdotes or other casual chitchat/speculation/opinion are not accepted as answers here.
Here are the rules. Thanks!
