I find the gang wars between the 1930s female mob bosses Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh to be an interesting part of Australian history. They could really make a movie out of this.
The thing about history is that it get more fun the deeper you dive into it. Schools only teach general world history, so most of it is just politics. To get the fun stuff just chose something that interests you and dive into it, you never know what you're gonna find. Keep going deeper and eventually you'll get to local history, stuff that'll never make the textbooks. History is only boring if you have a shitty teacher
Agreed. Also take into account that a lot of what we learn in school tends to be inaccurate and with history, just like science, people find out new things all the time that challenge what we think we already we know about things.
@@kindaraharyu7926 well then don't look at that then, there's more to history than war crimes. Learn how the history of steam locomotives, development of firearms (a personal favorite), development of a city over time, how sports evolved into what they are now. There's so much to learn about
@@kindaraharyu7926 like we were told to make a presentation about the eureka stockade, but since it was around the gold rush time. I learned about the atrocities that they did to the asian population, also about how pacific islander were taken as slaves etc
To quote the legend himself "Any boss who fires his employee for not turning up tomorrow is a bum' (Australia was celebrating winning the Americas Cup for the first time)
I kinda agree, but also disagree. The Australian history that gets taught in high school is really boring, and once I had the opportunity to drop history I did immediately. But the history that's taught in high school is very surface level and it's only when you get deeper into it that it becomes interesting. Take it from me, someone who majored in modern history at uni specialising in Australian political history. By that point you learn about the the history of Australian nationalism and shift of Australian nationalism from British race patriotism to Australian multiculturalism, scandal and crime in Sydney, democracy and democratic enfranchisement for men and then women in the mid-19th century and 1902, wars against Aboriginal Australians in the early colonial period and get to make your own questions for your major essays (in my case, student protests in the 70s over political economy classes, and the 1999 republic referendum). Of course if you don't want to go to uni to learn about these things, I'd recommend doing some research online or reading books on Australian history by academic historians like James Curran, Jenny Hocking and Judith Brett, and you'll find that there's a wealth to learn about Australian history. And not just the Emu War that all the foreigners harp on about. In Year 10 of high school, I believe we were taught what Joey said: WWI, WWII and the Vietnam War. This was followed by one more unit which was determined by the school and/or teacher. In my school we learned about Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam and how much of an absolute chad he was when it came to socially progressive reform and opposing the war in Vietnam. I think that's what first sparked my interest in Australian history, because compared to everything else we were taught, it was a breath of fresh air.
Speaking of chads; my highschool blitzed through the great depression without telling us anything about Jack Lang (the NSW premier who nearly fought the federal government openly to make sure his state was funded). He also looked like Lt Armstrong from FMA so WIN
Didn’t learn anything of history really Some basic stuff about industrialisation but everyone found it boring so the teachers asked us what we wanted to learn about. We said Hitler and ww2 so they changed the curriculum 😂 For English we learned about the bush poets like Banjo Patterson but that’s about it. Also ancient civilisations, so each class got their own one. Like ancient greeks, ancient romans, ancient Egyptians and we got the aboriginals. The assessment was we had to dress up in ancient clothes and make a presentation. (Aboriginals could just wear the flag colours instead of going naked)
I don't this three guys on the Trash Taste would actually had any interest in history other than simple trash talking about something they have no idea about.....
The story behind the first permanent structure, that's still around, is absolutely wild. A dutch ship far off course wrecked off the Australian coast in the late 1600s. A mutiny, a desperate boat to Indonesia, a reign of terror with the survivers, a fight for survival, and one last desperate race for the rescue ship. The story of the Batvaria and other lost dutch ships if the late 1500s and 1600s are fascinating. Hard to summarize and a great story. Definitely an underappreciated part of Australian history.
My uncle helped film a documentary about the Batavia like 20 years ago that was pretty neat; he's a historical reenactor that mainly does middle ages/roman stuff. His whole group (called Grey Company) also make their own armour and weapons and it's pretty cool what they can pull off in terms of how accurate it is.
Australia has cool history. Unfortunately, a lot of it is Aboriginal/Indigenous history. Australia has a very murky past with our indigenous population - with the government inflicting horrendous damages. As a result, it is only very recently that Indigenous history is being taught in schools.
The aboriginals were banned from painting the first fleet until recently. 50 years ago was the last slave ( if I remember this correctly) it is absolutely insane how recent these things happened. I personally know people who were kids of the stolen generation as well. Our history might not be "cool" but it's definitely important and interesting
@@boigercat By “cool” I mean interesting. Aboriginal culture, beliefs, and customs (such as the Dreamtime) are utterly fascinating and really unique. It’s a shame that it’s taken Australia this long to actually recognise the very existence of this culture - and make some attempts to embrace it.
@@papagsmurf8800 i only mentioned cool because thats the word joey used but i agree. and it is a shame but the world was very different not to long ago and all we can do now is be better
i feel like something people don't understand about America is that each individual state runs it's own schools. With their own standards and basically the only thing that ties them all together is standardized testing.
I personally think Australian history is underrated, of course it has boring parts, but overall it’s something you can really enjoy learning more about.
@@Loop_0 Yes it's definitely important to learn about. A lot of people skim over the fact that the ideology that the nono germans had was being practiced for hundreds of years already by the colonial powers. Just at different intensities. But instead of villainizing it as something foreign and unthinkable, I think we should "humanize" it as something that is possible for all people if they take a wrong step, because if not we think its a fluke in history that only happened at that time and only by those people when it's really not. It helps ground us to how human nature can be so vile sometimes and understand that everyone did a lot of atrocities, and understanding the connections helps us make better decisions. Helps us develop and properly tackle the issues.
Yeah it’s def not boring but it’s just that it’s fairly short as Aus is a fairly new nation … European nations obv have the longest history which is documented as wel as it is … I’m sure Chinese history and prob parts of African date back further but aren’t documented at the level of European nations are …. Eu history has a whole lot of inter fam marriages and incestious relationships, kids bred for the sole purpose
Connor and Garnt's distaste for European history makes no sense to me because European history is so damn interesting! There's literally an endless amount of iconic eras and events to study. Not to mention all the colonial empires and wars that stretched across the entire world. Especially since at one point in time it seemed like the only continent in the world that mattered was Europe since everywhere else in the world was ruled either directly or indirectly by a European country.
Connor and Garnt are those kinds of people that feel the need to constantly talk shit about the place they come from. I think it's an internet points/easy joke kind of thing.
I'm American and I think American history is kinda boring. Like Cold War, WW2, Civil War, Great Depression, Jim Crow, kkk, reconstruction, industrial revolution is interesting but there's so much boring stuff about tariffs, the gilded age, enlightenment thinkers, wigs, evangelicals, labor laws.
Its fun if its taught like that. When you have to study a generalized history of certain events, with many dates and long ass names talking about etc etc school opened here and a new tax on this religious minority there, it gets extremely boring.
@mcchickenz just because the British were taxing them for defending them doesn't mean they agreed to be taxed. Also, being miles away helps with the whole wanting to be independent. That being said, the point was alot of people living in the colonies lived there to GET AWAY from their European past/pressures and have more say in how they're governed. So being made to pay taxes with no representation is kind of an issue
@@neloverg3774 feel like you are exaggerating a lot, the taxes were minimal and nothing compared to the UK. To be in the colonies meant that taxes would be far less (not non existent). There were many other things that riled up the Americans, the Somerset case on slavery in the UK and the lack of western expansion after the war.
The British Empire was like a collector thumbing through comics in a shop: "Got it,got it,got,it,want it but don't have enough, I'll have to dip into the Opium what could go wrong?"
As an American I wanted to clarify the GPA system and school funding. So for normal classes the highest GPA is a 4.0 (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0). However, in the U.S. you can also take honors classes (slightly harder than normal classes) and AP classes ("advanced placement", supposedly equivalent in difficulty to an intro university course). Honors classes are on a 5.0 scale and AP classes are on a 6.0 scale because they are more difficult. So if you take alot of honors and AP classes your GPA can be greater than 4.0. It's not because of extra-curricular activities. Regarding school funding, most if not all public schools are funded by property taxes. So a neighborhood with homes with high property values will have better funded schools. The Bay Area has many neighborhoods will high property values which results in well funded schools. However, the Bay Area also has poor neighborhoods with low property values which results in poorly funded schools. It really does depend on the district. Donations only make up a really small part of school funding.
As an Indigenous Australian, I do agree that with what I learned in high school compared to now in uni was really surface level. There are the Indigenous/Aboriginal culture that is rarely talked about outside of Australia due to the horrible things that happened to them. I really wish that I could learn more about my history, culture and language since the Indigenous culture and stories are really interesting but not well known.
It doesn't help that the school courses which teach Aboriginal/Torres Straight islander culture are only available if you are either Aboriginal or a Torres Straight Islander.
@@samuraijosh1595 honestly, I believe I’m some of the few that are able to receive support for education and other things. There are other Indigenous Australians that are struggling with family, welfare, health and abuse. I hope those people will find good support to help them with these issues.
@@axxjazz. Australia statically says that there is a small percent of people that identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. I think the likely reasons for this that people who are one of these or both of these either are unaware, are unable to get identified as them or lie about because they feel ashamed of it. If you’re a Indigenous Australian, I think that you don’t have to be ashamed of it because the culture you have is interesting and amazing. I definitely have a strong sense with my Indigenous identity.
I ended up having classes for Argentine, Spanish, Texas, US, Europe and World History. Like each one was a separate class. In fact there was multiple ones for Texas, US and World too
I love hearing about this, because I remember in highschool (20+ years ago) I noticed that we didn't learn anything about Asian history, only stuff about Europe and the colonies. It's part of the reason I got interested in Japan, Korea, etc in the last couple of years.
In Germany we need to learn about so much in history from the Fall of the Roman Empire, the migration of the people (Völkerwanderung) and the Holy Roman Empire to the American Revolution and then next from 19th century politics of Germany (Bismarck) till today and also Polish history (the Partition, Józef Pilsudski etc.) from the 18th century till today.
Really I am from Germany and the most that was taught in Mittelschule was Nazi Germany with a bit of roman empire and then when I went to BOS i learned WW1 with a bit of american/russian history alongside the cold war and a bit greek history was put in between but only stuff like homer, democracy and so on. there was almost never a war mentioned in any history class
@@tyleetophbeifong8194 Yes one must have attended a Gymnasium. I went from the Realschule to the Gymnasium and there was a big difference in what they’ve taught.
What do you mean? Australia was literally a continent-sized prison where people would get into shootouts at the top of hills and destroy the ecosystem.
@@Saltyorange11 Until you read about it and realise just how little our government gives a shit about our farmers, or anyone for that matter. You'd think we would send hundreds of soldiers with the best weapons to kill the emus (plenty of down and out retired soldiers from WW1), but nope, we got a crazy Australian commander leading Bob and Bill on a wacky adventure with two machine guns and a jeep (they broke while trying to make it a technical) to try and wipe out 50 thousand birds the size of a fat American, the speed of a cheetah and the sponge capabilities of a Dark Souls boss. Literally after the first "battle" people saw emus with up to 50 rifle rounds punctured into them and they still kept running around like nothing happened. 80 birds killed and still raring to go, but unfortunately the Western Australian government decided that being French was a good idea and just gave in. Guess it's better to be a coward than protect the farmers who are suffering from Emus eating crops and the Great Depression.
@@Saltyorange11 didn't you also build a dingo proof fence, which wasn't dingo proof because somebody forgot to consider the possibility that dogs can dig?
As a prison continent, one would imagine it would eventually turn into a gigantic wild west if shit hit the fan but it turned out to be the complete opposite.
Canadian (Ontario) history classes covered the basics of ancient history, medieval (mostly medieval British) history, and then finally, Canadian history. From Canadian history, I can remember the Underground Railroad (not an actual railroad, but it refers to the paths black slaves took in order to escape to Canada), the burning of the White House (War of 1812), Laura Secord, conscription (WW1), the Battle of Ypres (WW1), the Great Depression, the Juno Beach landing (D-Day WW2), the creation of the UN as well as the subsequent establishment of peacekeeping under the UN, the establishment of NATO, Diefenbaker (former Canadian prime minister during the Cold War era), residential schools as well as other assimilation efforts (an issue that many will note has been pretty prominent over the summer), Pierre Trudeau (former prime minister who was partly responsible for metrification, responsible for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and responsible for patriating the constitution (taking the constitution back from Britain)), 9/11 as well as the subsequent War on Terror, and the 2008 financial crisis.
Sounds almost entirely similar to the history taught in the US, which makes sense because both countries are neighbors in North America. Some of the major differences have to do with the history of the US acquiring new territories and the US Civil War. Otherwise, when it comes to the history of other places in the world, I remember learning some stuff about UK history (Battle of Hastings, Magna Carta), more specifically, the kinds of things that somehow relate to US history by way of British colonialism. Also learning about Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, Byzantine Empire, World War 2 rather than World War 1, some general knowledge about European Colonialism in North and South America.
Mine was, Prehistoric Indonesia -> Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic Kingdom -> Portuguese, English, and Dutch Colonization -> Japanese Occupation/ WW2 -> War for Independence -> Communist party and other rebellion. I don't remember about learning World History except WW2
Even ww2 was kinda glossed over right? I just remember the Japanese kicking the Dutch out and getting beaten by the allies then Indonesian independence proclaimed before the allies can turn us back into a dutch colony
I'm mexican and i got taught: -Primary school: Regional history (fucking hated it) -Secondary School: National history (from the the natives to pre 2000's) -High School: World History (ww1 and 2, some history of romans, egyptians, greeks, europe, USA, and dabbled in middel eastern and asia history but just a bit) In HS we also learned a bit of everything, science, chemistry, biology, geography, maths, html, photoshop, ethics, physics, etc. kinda for everybody to see what they are interested in, but it also caused that a lot of people failed the classes that they were clearly not good at (me with numbers stuff) Also got taught long division in elementary school.
Gadually expanding out makes sense for history. From what I remember, in the US, I was taught the same things over and over again multiple years in a row. It was only world history- more specfic histories came later
in germany it goes in order: the stone age the Mesopotamians the Greeks the Romans, Celts, Gauls and Germans the fall of the roman empire the middle ages the english and french revolutions, the napoleons, Preussia and the colonial age (including small bits on what the colonies looked like before europeans turned up) then Germany being a thing, the franco-german war, WW-I, the great depression, Hitler and WW-II the cold war, the annexation of east Germany by west germany and the fall of the soviet union. i think this is the best possible approach because a lot of events in history require you knowing what was going on before to give you context.
or even brain4breakfast's 40 or so minute long video on it! (though skips over sugar cane in Queensland, along with... actually just skipping Queensland)
Omg what Garnt was saying about the textbooks brought back so many memories. I remember we'd always have to share with the person sitting next to us BUT sometimes there were extras so you'd get lucky and end up with your own, especially if you or your friend was handing them out.
For clarification (It can differ between states in Australia) For myself, there is -Foundation Math (Basic math) -Further Math (Mainly data and interpretation) -Math Methods (Graphing) and Specialist math (That big brain math where only 7 kids in your year level are doing it) Also many Australian Schools have 'accelerated subjects' Which allows students from a younger year (Year 10) to pick a class that usually senior attend (Year 11 and 12's) Furthermore, Joey is correct about our history classes it's pretty boring ;(
To me, I find history class to be the most Interesting, we just finished up the first semester where we learnt about the unification of Germany and Nazi Germany next year is lit though gonna learn about the Russian and French revolutions
I remember back in year 7 doing cooking lessons, for one of our assignments we had to choose our own recipe to make. So I decided to make something that required rum as an ingredient. Here I am as a 12 y.o. bring alcohol to school.
History for me in Ireland was pretty extensive. So was a shit tonne of Irish history, basically prehistoric to 1970s (not all inclusive, obviously, but did a lot of the key eras), rise of fascism in Europe (specially Germany, Italy and Spain), rise of communism in Russia, a tiny bit on the cold war. Then it was the Indian/Pakistan partition, secession of Katanga in the Congo, tincy tiny bit on Colombia. I think we did a bit on the age of exploration too. My final year project was on the Endurance expedition. There were the basics as well like ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt. It changes based on the year though, so the year behind me probably studied something entirely different. Typing it all out really makes me realise we actually covered a lot more than I initially thought. You are taught history from primary school all the way to junior cert (at least) though, and you don't hit the more global histories (Congo etc.) unless you do it for your leaving cert also.
At my high school - a blue ribbon with an LPP Program - we had: --Standard Classes ("idiots" went there) --Honors Classes (the average) --GP Classes (a stupid smart person went here) --AP Classes (the "average") Below a 3.5, you were stupid. 3.5 was fine. 3.5-4 was average. Our valedictorian had a 5.0. Straight A+ in _all_ AP classes _with_ extracurriculars.
bird war, slavery, basically just a huge prison, everything is on fire all the time, known to be one of the most dangerous regular living places on earth
Some interesting history of Australia: they used multiple different aircraft that were famous, such as: The Douglas A-4E Skyhawk, F-111 Aardvark, and Dassault Mirage IIIO
my Australian High School had two years compulsory home economics, a year compulsory either French or Chinese, and the advanced math course was called advanced math, it had the exponent rules that dealt with negative and fractional powers, and IIRC some more advanced trigonometry (the trig was covered the next year anyway). ancient history was covered in primary school, modern history high school, my high school tried to teach about the industrial revolution as well as the world wars but that failed.
Videogames and books made me super interested in history! Age of empires 2 and the stronghold games are still great today! And medal of honor and the old COD games got me into WW2!
For context about gpa, your grades are each given a number. There's a bit more complications depending on your school's policy and how +/- are weighted. But basically, A = 4 B = 3 C = 2 D = 1 Your gpa is based on the average of usually all your years in highschool/college. Ap and honor classes can boost the grade by 1 or 0.5. It depends on your school. 4.0 is really good for most schools but in competitive schools, you're just average.
I’m from the Netherlands and we had ancient history, American history and European history focusing on the colonies in Asia, Africa and south-America as well as the two world wars.
the french giving up parts of australia to go home and fight the napoleanic wars is pretty interesting and something thta doesnt even get taught in schools
US schools concentrate on the extra math in university. Generally normal highschool caps at precalc and then they offer AP calc which can be college calc 1 and or include calc 2 . these allow you to place out of college level calc 1 and or 2 and move faster. There are also AP physics that do the same and AP humanities like English, history, and languages, and government classes
My school was kinda on the cusp of poor. We had to share books sometimes and all that jazz. It was eye opening when I went to college and found out that my xp. was on the lower spectrum of how other people went through grade school. They sound like they went to schools with plenty of money. Just goes to show that when you live in small towns/back woods places you don't get shit for a budget. At least my class got to go to Disneyland which the prior 3 years before us did not get. Also got out of there just in the nick of time because all the soda machines were removed and they got rid of off campus lunch.
I personally really like History. I mainly got started into it around the Summer before Year 7 in School when my mother told me she traced our family tree all the way back down hitting Henry I king of England which for me my instant thought was “Wait, that means I’m related William the Conqueror!”. Before then I already was into Kings & Queens, Knights and Swords specifically as a child back then plus I was a big fan of Horrible History so finding out I was related to very famous historical people and were royalty as well really got me interested in find more things out about them & myself (which soon ends up leading me into finding more about us humans as a species in general), which for a Autistic young boy who unfortunately was getting bullied at the time (there was a lot too why I was bullied but main thing I was able too get out of it and not going into much detail about it, it wasn’t because of just me but more too the fact there was family vs family issues going on and I unfortunately got victimised by that just because of being related to said situation and bunch of other reasons) that unfortunately put a lot of ego into me too tell people this and pretty much dig that into people who were bullying me and I though jokingly and not serious but with some intent of aggression calling them peasant 😂😂😂😂 (which for the one that was getting bullied I was the main aggressor in most of those situations, but never got into a actual fight and I somehow either got completely away of it or got a small punishment compared too the bullies mostly to do with I’m guessing me explaining with as much detail as possible of what was happening 🤔🤔🤔). Yah trust me I don’t fully understand why!?😂😂😂🤔🤔🤔 But I will say thanks too that ego it got me too want to learn more about the past which lead me too learn a lot of things, like realising nearly all royalty around the world are related too each other somewhere in their ancestry, different species of humans like Homo Erectus, finding out I’m related too Gods because of be related too Pharaohs 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and of course much more. It also helped too give me a better understanding of who I was and what I was, the good sides of & the bad sides of me (yah let’s just say History for me was pretty something I mostly learnt too better myself as a person 😂😂😂😂😂) and possibly where that came from. But because of that when I see people judging people from ancient pass of things that are completely wrong these days but were not and too be exact normal back then and using modern social laws against them is something that ticks me off a lot mostly because one thing that’s unfortunately going to lead too is a lot of history will be lost and by loosing that history we have nothing there anymore too teach people of why stuff happened and if they did do something that for modern standards are wrong we should teach people that so they we as humans won’t do that again. Personally to me I don’t care if they were a holy saint or a criminal that caused a mass out cry if they made something of Historical to practical value that got passed down for many years we should never get rid or forget it and learn from it. (Trust me something you possibly have on you right now that’s been with us humans for centuries more than likely a lot of something got created by someone based on modern standards is 🤬🤬🤬🤬ed up) Yah somehow that lead too all of this 😂😂😂😂. Anyway pretty much when you learn history you will find a lot of thighs that’s going capture your interest. Heck history was another reason that got me too become a fan of anime and Japanese History as well 🤣🤣🤣🤣
one of the top military commanders for recorded battles was Australian Harry Chauvel. command of our desert mounted troops. Palestine campaign got him alot of victories. Not taught in Australian history class. Also i never learned about the scrap iron fleet that pivotal roles in two major naval engagements in the Mediterranean during world war 2.
There’s so much more of it, so it makes sense, but weirdly enough I learned more European History then American history in my k-12 American education. Didn’t learn shit about Asia (outside of ww2), Africa (outside of colonization), or Australia though. Math was also weird. Outside of AP/honors classes it was the only one that varied in requirements to graduate. You needed 4 years of math to graduate high school, but the level of that math varied. Trigonometry wasn’t needed to graduate. As a sophomore I took the lowest level of math seniors needed to graduate (Algebra 2). I still needed to take 2 more years of math though, so like students before me, my senior year, along with ~100/500 of my graduating class, I was allowed to signing up at a local community college to take Calc 1 and Calc 2 for college and high school credit since that was the next level of math. The other option was AP calculus. Then there was a further ~40 students in each graduating class that took Calc 1/Calc 2 as Juniors so their senior year they signed up for Calc 3 and linear algebra at the same community college since they still needed 4 years of math. My school actually had to figure out something for the valedictorian in my graduating class because he took the Calc 3/Linear algebra classes as a Junior and the community college didn’t offer a higher level of math, but they still requires him to take a 4th year of math as a senior.
For non-Australians, Joey down-played his Asian academics. In Australia there's 6 level of maths (in order of difficulty level, each level expands on content from the previous level) it's: General; 2-Unit Standard; Advanced; 3-Unit Extension 1; 4-Unit Extension 2; Accelerated. General Maths is basic level; 2-Unit Standard teaches basic entry level maths for tertiary education; 3-Unit Extension 1 covers the content in 2-unit maths with a basic intro to engineering/physics related content; Advanced Maths is the middle ground between 2 & 3 Unit maths; 4-Unit Extension 2 (as the name suggest is really difficult) focuses solely on Engineering/physics related content. Lastly Accelerated Maths is only offered for students who are so good at maths, they are deemed to be far ahead of their current student cohort. Students studying this level often learn 3-4Unit Maths alongside students belong to the grade above them (e.g. year 11 accelerated would study alongside year 12 students). The accelerated maths class is where you're likely to find the child prodigies...
I learned world history for 3 years total in middle/high school and it was basically the same general information every year. I wish that every year it went more in depth cause I honestly felt like I was wasting my time.
What about the war against emu or war against several feral animals brought by humans from other continents (cows, camels, donkeys, water buffalo, horses, goats, deer, cats, toads, rabbit)
The school I go to is ridiculously well funded, my school made a new middle school for 80 million dollars, with a 4 million dollar theater, it was ridiculous, the high school is like half the size.
1800s Australia: a big group of Irish guys escaped prison in the early colonial days and used a magic magnetic map made from tree bark to travel up the east coast to a secret landbridge on the north coast that would lead back to Europe. Anyway, the map was not magic and they all vanished/died Also there was a cool crazy German explorer named Ludwig Leichardt who wandered off into central Australia looking for a mythical inland sea and vanished. He prob got eaten by something. a guy wrote a cool fiction book about it named Voss Also we had a crazy cannibal guy who escaped prison in Tasmania named Alex Pearce. He broke outta jail with a group that all ended up eating each other and he came out on top. Then he got arrested again and broke out again a 2nd time, and convinced another guy to go with him. This new sidekick was also eaten.
im not sure if its just me, but i found Australian history quite interesting. (i am aussie) and got to do a Australian history subject. And i think a lot of people only acknowledge Australian history being just white man colonialism which i find weird, as the history of the country and its origins to its founders (Aboriginals and native owners of the land) have a really interesting history behind how they survived and went about surviving in the Australian outback. Also core parts of Aussie history i thought was big and should be noted are; - Emu War - The Siege of Tobruk - Eureka Stockade - Victoria gold rush - the Dutch discovery of West Australia - The British aim to beat the french to the East coast of Australia - the formation of colonies to the federation of 1901 - Our Prime Ministers just being absolutely wacky - The Lost Generation - The Mabo case - the formation and growth of Melbourne and Sydney and these are a few that come to the top of my head. Of course Australia as a country has only existed for over 200 so years. But its history goes far back beyond it even becoming a country.
No it isn't it's a dark and shameful time, also we won in the end, people keep saying we lost, we didn't, you can look it up Emu's aren't a problem in WA anymore.
You know, there actually is a bunch of cool history, with movies made about that history that they just don't know about, and that's really sad. _Gallipoli_ which is about the battle of Gallipoli during the first world war for example.
Ironically, the most interesting part of Australian History was not even set in Australia. Every school boy and girl had to learn the 'Invasion of Gallipoli' during WWI which Australian soldiers were used as cannon fodders for the British officers (who never had stepped on the front line of battlefield) to take on Turkish artillery.
When you look at it. The Ottaman's at the time respected & buried our dead alongside their soldiers than compare to the British officers told us to leave the bodies in the muck & rotting away. Til this day the cemeteries are highly respected & are on the world's heritage list from the UN. Wasn't long ago we had the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign.
I find the topic of like when did people learn different things in math so interesting, because what you may learn in like late elementary early middle is what someone may learn in highschool somewhere else and vice versa
@@GruuonMaybe it depends on the state? I know I learned about it but the Eureka Stockade seems like it'd be more relevant to Victoria than anywhere else.
Forgot Meilyn is confused. Okay assuming she's around there age or early 30s at most. 4.0s only existed you take calculus or would shop worth the same now if you take calculus in high school an A is worth 5 points B is 4 etc. Since we take the average out of the point System. You can get 5.0 if you do all AP/Honor courses. Just for those who don't know AP is college level classes in high school honors is just a tier below, does look good when you apply to colleges, but doesn't get you college credit. If that's sounds weird, I know (For reference I am from California this is how works in our school system. Also, Meilyn from Cali as well, so pretty sure it's the same for everyone.)
@@j-s-s-e I know. I actually came back to this comment to correct it. I thought he said he was from Queensland and after I posted, I decided to look up where in QLD was he from out of curiosity. Apparently he's from Sydney🤣, a goddamn expensive place to live, where employment is high. I'm not going to say where in NSW I got my schooling from (public schooling). I'll be revealing a bit too much. My notification was turned off accidentally, so I didn't know anyone responded.
