You saw the "Origins of World War II" trailer too? America declared war on Germany and Japan? Oh no it didn't! It was the other way round.
The video doesn't say that the US declared war first, just that the US declared war, which it most certainly did. In fact, apart from a further declaration against Romania in 1942, that was the last time that the Congress issued a declaration of war.

No plans to cover the Civil War or Civil Rights yet, at least they know to steer clear of those topics...I hope.

Bingo....... Some might even argue that it was the Civil War that really established the Nation.

As Bertie was quoted above, most countries feed their kids a patriotically motivated potted history, and the US is absolutely no exception already, let alone this crass attempt to dumb down even further.

Oh well, let's prepare ourselves for more uneducated diatribes in the Politics section in years to come.
