I understand why you call them Native Americans because that is what people in the USA identify them as. They are not, they are indigenous people. That is as accurate as we can get. To be proper, call them by their tribe.
@@mousemd At the time of incidents like the Trail of Tears, Native Americans, or indigenous people, were still called "Indians," a name they didn't choose. It was given to them by Christopher Columbus, who, upon "discovering" the "New World," wrongly believed that he had landed in India. They were also, unfortunately, called by very unflattering names, like "Injuns," "redskins," "savages," etc, apparently designed to make them appear less than human, to give the impression that they didn't deserve the same rights and privileges as white people, and that they were a godless and soulless menace to white "civilization" who deserved to be driven off their lands, forced to live on the "reservations," or better yet, to be exterminated.
Yo how about actual history cuz you do not know **** about Mao or China lmao looks like a segment from Faux News lol stick to making crappy top 10 anime videos
You should know that Islam routinely claims minority status, but where there is Muslim majority, they do not allow the existence of any minority. Think about that for a second.
And that's how it should be. There are SO MANY things that a few semesters a year of schooling could never cover. School is there to teach us how to learn. From there it is our responsibility to educate ourselves. Teachers write their own lesson plans. It's bound to be biased in some way, even unintentionally, down to the choices of what they leave out. And there is no getting around that because it's inherently human. We also don't want the government mandating a more strict and set in stone lesson plan for every school district... because can you imagine what the government would want teachers to leave out? So the best solution is to educate ourselves. Take the forms of learning that we were taught and use them while seeking information.
Despite growing up in Mississippi and Tennessee, my history teachers were remarkably liberal. I didn't know about the Wall Street bombing or the Tulsa massacre coming out of high school, but I learned about both later from sources outside this video. If we aren't teaching our children these things in history class, while still emphasizing the resiliency and progress humanity has made, we are selling our society - and our species - short.
Same here . I counted 7 out of the ten. I went to school in the 60's and the 70's though. And In Indiana. Where they had a special interest in teaching us about racism. Indiana history is full of it. I always liked history. But some of the stories are very difficult. I know schools don't teach this stuff anymore. It's sad really.
One of my high school history teachers, who had a wickedly sardonic sense of humor, would often joke at the beginning of the year that "we won't be covering anything to do with women or Indians!" He was being ironic, of course, but was pointing out to his students from day 1 the inherent problems of certain groups of people and/or events being afforded more coverage than others.
@@LabCat I grew up in the same area in conservative schools with conservative teachers and we learned about all these events. No offense, but I don’t know what you’re talking about
I am a firm believer that everyone should at least be aware of these horrific historical events, warts and all, so that we can learn from our past mistakes and how to deal with events like this in the future…because if we do not learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it. Thanks for the list.
I think it’s a silver lining of the growth of the internet and podcasts that people can learn so much more about history. Even a great teacher can only cover so much ground, but having these other sources means you can hear more varied voices and perspectives. Even then, there were still several things on this list that I hadn’t heard of.
Problem ... issues are presented in a way under the believes that education around the world is the same as in the US. Sorry to burst your bubble: The US isn't the only country on this planet.
@@dorientjewoller113 No one suggested that. No one is saying all these things need to be taught in all schools all over the world. I get what you're saying, but the ones that happened in the US aren't even taught in the US at all. Most people don't know anything about the Tulsa incident or the Trail of Tears.
I grew up in a very white Canada and knew zero about the Indian School system, last one closed in 97. 1,000's of child murders and lots of pedophile priests still alive today but no one is looking for them. You seem a lot calmer about this than me or you're just being polite. If I catch one of these perverts it's goodbye.
Probably because then the whole "we are victims mentality" in US would not work and they could not exploit people. They need black people to be the biggest victims because there are way more of them than Native Americans so they are way more profitable.
@@dustinchennaw everyone doesn't know just like a lot of the injustice against minorites aren't taught in traditional school curriculum. We never learned about Tulsa ok or the history of lake Lanier in school and those were great injustices I'm sure it's plenty related to native Americans that they don't talk about either
As a history teacher we do learn about the Indian Removal Act and Trail of Tears. I teach about the Massacre at Wounded Knee and have been there. Don’t forget about Seneca Village in NYC and the Walking Purchase by the Penn family after William died. We do a whole section on slavery and race relations in the US and the world. We talk about Mao and Doc and the background of the hostage crisis in Iran in my geography class as well.
I was about to say . . . I'm an Army Brat so I moved around a lot and was taught about the Trail of Tears multiple times throughout my years in different education systems and I graduated in highschool in 2005 so it's nothing new either 😒
Conservatives are slowly trying to make sure kids dont learn about that or african american history. Its sick and i will make sure my kids learn everything
I remember my Father telling me about the trail of tears. Even as a young girl, I felt a deep sorrow for the Native Peoples. It was my father who often told me the school books were wrong.
I' m a teacher myself and there's a lot of stuff we're told to gloss over and not cover. Hell i didn't learn about some of these until i went to college and even then it was just an abridged version. Its like that old saying History is recorded by the winners. They never really tell us what happened to losers 😞.
And that's how it should be. There are SO MANY things that a few semesters a year of schooling could never cover. School is there to teach us how to learn. From there it is our responsibility to educate ourselves. Teachers write their own lesson plans from my understanding. It's bound to be biased in some way, even unintentionally, down to the choices of what they leave out. And there is no getting around that because it's inherently human. We also don't want the government mandating a more strict and set in stone lesson plan for every school district... because can you imagine what the government would want you teachers to leave out?

Middle-Eastern conflicts have always been complicated even learning about them today, so not sure how schools would have taught them. I briefly learned about the Trail of Tears in elementary school, but not about what started it or how many died. Stone Wall and Colvin I learned from Drunk History of all places. Wall Street Attack, Bacon's Rebellion, Armenian Genocide, and Tulsa was never brought up in school. I learned more about Tears and Tulsa recently in my Humanities classes in College and found them both incredibly upsetting. Those were the angriest 4 months of my life.
Similarly to the Trail of Tears, growing up in Canada Catholic School System did not teach the treatment of Indigenous persons via the 60s Scoop and Resident Schools. I did learn about these extensively in my post secondary (College) education though.
Definitely need a part 2 because they never really taught about the Moors.. What happened in the Republic of the Congo .. The riots around the US during the draft of the Civil War etc...
Other events involving Indigenous people we weren't taught about in school: The Long Walk of the Navajo The Osage Nation Murders The Occupation of Alcatraz Trail of Broken Treaties Wounded Knee Occupation
I remember learning about the trail of tears in history class. Don't get me wrong, I took advanced history classes, but we did cover it. One thing that we didn't cover was Japan's WWII invasion of China (particularly Nanjin), and their abduction of "comfort women" from China, Korea, and other surrounding territories. That kind of stuff was always glossed over and usually the only thing mentioned about Japan's WWII involvement in school was the attack on Pearl Harbor and us dropping the bomb on Hiroshima.
@@JamesDavy2009 Crazy right? All I can remember from History class about WWII was "Japan attacked Pearl Harbor", "Germans were bad", and then "America dropped a nuke on Japan, and now America is the bad guy..." They completely gloss over all the horrible crap Japan did, and mainly talk about the horrible crap we did to Japan like internment camps, and dropping the bomb on Hiroshima (the funny thing is I don't even remember them mentioning Nagasaki). It wasn't until I started a fling with a Japanese girl in my 20s and I learned about Nanjing and the "comfort women" from her, because she was explaining to me about how there are actual Japanese WWII deniers = people who claim Japan wasn't even involved in WWII and it is all a conspiracy made up by China and America... I get that there is a guilt from how low we sunk and they are trying to "right the wrong", after all there was a reason America put over 100,000 Asian people in interment camps opposed to 11,000 Germans, and dropped the 2 nukes on Japan instead of Germany = Germans were white... but straight up ignoring important parts of the war won't help matters. It will only encourage the conspiracy theories that some of the Japanese WWII deniers still spout even today.
@@jfmdevil6239 Textbooks claim WWll started when Hitler invaded Poland September 1st, 1939. They never say Japan invaded China 9 years earlier (1931) and proceeded to attack Taiwan, the Philippines, Australia, and a bunch of other islands in the east.
Amazing how much history gets lost or never talked about...same with music and movies. I'm in my 50s and I'm still discovering nuggets from all of these areas
You forgot to mention during the Tulsa Race Riots they actually had airplanes that bombed the poor town. There are actually people who recalled hearing and seeing them.
I have been to Tulsa recently and one of the building have a piece of one the original buildings and the bricks were melted together. That’s how hot is was when they dropped the bombs
Osage "Reign of Terror" (1921 - 1926) Red Summer of 1919 MOVE bombing - 1985 Centennial Park bombing - 1996 The Spanish flu pandemic - 1918 Chinese massacre in Los Angeles - 1875 Fred Hampton assassination - 1969 The Camden NJ shootings - 1949 University of TX Austin mass shooting - 1966 And my favorite one that is never talked about in school was Juneteenth, 1865.
With the Centennial Park bombing, Eric Rudolph also attempted bombings at an LGBT night club in the Atlanta area and at an abortion clinic in Birmingham. Just sad that the FBI did not see the connections at first and blamed an innocent man, and that a small NC town came to revere Rudolph as some Christian rebel against an evil government and protected his whereabouts for years.
I'm a history teacher and we do teach all of these but sometimes you have parents who are extremely protective over what they want their kids to learn so it makes it difficult but I still do it. I believe in the saying "Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it".
This was really interesting! I did learn about the Trail of Tears in high school and about the real first bus refuser during an episode of Mysteries at the Museum, but I had not learned about the other stories. Thanks for sharing and I hope we see more of these types of videos. I know there are many more stories that schools don’t teach.
I was educated in US public schools, graduating high school in 1991. Quite literally all of these events were taught in school. It's still good to talk about these things but they at least used to be taught in ordinary US public schools.
I remember that, as a Korean Immigrant who attended an American Public school from 1997-2009, I kind of wished that the "World History" section for Korea was a bit more informed, at least between WWI and the Korean War. Especially when it came down to WWII. I knew that Japan had annexed Korea, but I remember that I never read about it in school. Korea was mentioned during the Korean War, but even that was covered in a couple paragraphs.
Never forget that school is not there to teach us everything. It is there to teach us HOW TO LEARN. That is why it is only a small part of our life. For the years after we get out of school, it is our responsibility to continue learning. Teachers write their own lesson plans. It's bound to be biased in some way, even unintentionally, down to the choices of what they leave out. And there is no getting around that because it's inherently human. We also don't want the government mandating a more strict and set in stone lesson plan for every school district... because can you imagine what the government would want teachers to leave out? So the best solution is to educate ourselves. Take the forms of learning that we were taught and use them while seeking information.
Also... As a Korean I implore you to research Syngman Rhee. If you haven't already. He was trained by the US and put into power as the first Korean president when the US had it's hands in who would be elected that year. He caused multiple massacres and ordered many deaths. He was beyond hated and the entire country was staging a coup. He was rescued by the CIA and flown out privately to Hawai'i where he lived the rest of his life safe and free... all thanks to the US government.
I’m a history teacher at a high school in Alabama (where us teachers have our hands tied, quite frankly). I am ALWAYS skeptical when I hear people says “we didn’t learn that in history!” for some events. A lot of these, and other similar events, are covered. Unfortunately, many high school-aged students just aren’t interested in history or don’t yet have the maturity to apply themselves.
Learned about all of this stuff in school. No new information learned from this video other than it's an indictment on the public education system but perhaps if they actually taught history instead of trying to rewrite it then that would fix the problem. After all, those that do not study history are doomed to repeat it.
Thanks WM! Some of these events have been taught a decent amount in my school, some have been only slightly brought up, and others I find out using the wonders of the internet. Thank you.
I was taught about most of these, I'm questioning what your teachers taught you. These were not a small note in history or social studies when I was in school.
My college prep high school ended the history lessons at WW2. They expected our parents to talk about events after that and our parents expected the same from the schools. And they even left out the internment camps in this country.
I grew up in such an area. I didn’t know a thing about ANY of these incidents except a blithe mention of the Trail of Tears. I was appalled and cried real tears when I learned of the Tulsa Massacre. Same thing with the Red Summer of 1919 Riots (not mentioned here) which was spawned when a white boxer was defeated fair and square by a black one.
@@iismyalias My Irish grandfather lived in Tulsa at the time, a few streets away. His sister, who was a social worker in Tulsa, wanted an investigation of the woman whose complaint started the riot. Along with the bravery of our patriots who fought to make our country free, we need to learn how a country that is supposedly free can get away with oppressing large segments of the population and about the bravery of the people who risked their lives fighting against that oppression. We cannot become a perfect nation unless we teach our students how to identify, confront and overcome our imperfections.
I learned about most of these in junior high/high school, and I grew up in a small farming town in Oklahoma. I thought everyone grew up learning these.
This list forgot another historical event that was not taught nor mentioned at the textbooks at schools in the US: • Filipino🇵🇭 - American🇺🇲 War, and the atrocities of the US forces committed against the Filipino civilian people (including muslims in Mindanao).
They also never talk about how it didn’t work the community got back together and rebuilt their town it wasn’t until “Urban redevelopment” that destroyed the community.
As a black fan of WatchMojo who's watched your compilations for years, it feels so good that you addressed some of the most purposefully "erased" events in history. It is unfortunate that soon, children in the future won't even know about the historical events actually taught in schools presently thanks to unhinged politicians.
That awkward moment when you're not sure if you learned these things in school or the 33 years of living with ADHD filled with midnight hyperfocused dives down various rabbit holes is the real reason you know these....
I was taught about the Trail of Tears in school. Admittedly probably not as in depth as it should have been. I haven't heard of any of the others. I always love learning about events I don't know about.
Same. I took an African American studies course in college and I learned about the Tulsa Race Massacre as well as the Boston Busing Crisis for the first time.
My great grandmother witnessed her entire family getting brutally murdered by the Turks during the Armenian genocide. She was also beaten, raped, and tortured to the point where she went permanently deaf. She managed to flee to Israel and if she hadn't escaped, I wouldn't be here typing this comment right now. I really wish schools would talk about this event more. I agree that the holocaust was a horrible dark chapter in human history, but this event is just as bad.
In 4th grade I had to do one of those "science project" boards but about Native American history. My dad convinced me to do the project on the Trail of Tears. It got a good grade and we kept it around for a long time. I think I still have the essay that I wrote along with the board in my home now almost 30 years later.
Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens): The Alamo was built without a basement Simone (Diane Salinger): Oh dear...I didn't know that! Pee Wee: Neither did I. They don't tell you that stuff in school. That's just something you have to experience.
Thanks for sharing. Not heard about the 1920s wall street attack, or the stonewall riots, thanks for mentioning them. Also the Civil Rights went off the mark. We only know about Rosa Parka and MLK.....WELL I only heard about Rosa from Doctor Who, but like there was loads of them from 1955-1970 odd. History has left them all out almost. I only heard about them after their passing. They are now 'Pioneers'. They should have more of a mention
Tulsa massacre. They really don’t teach about how evil a lot of European royals really are. Colonization. I didn’t learn about Leopold until I was an adult. He was almost as bad as hitler, if not worse
These are all good choices. I would add the Coal Mine Wars in West Virginia from 1901 to 1922. This was the largest armed insurrection in the US since the Civil War.
Something else major we never really learn about in schools is the Rape Nanking or Unit 731. Unit 731 stuff was not declassified until the 1980s, but I was in HS in the early 2000s. We should learn about that, IMO--including the part where the U.S. helped cover it up.
Agreed. I distinctly remember that the first time I'd even heard of the word "vivisection ". ...at the time I was 6'3 245 lbs known for my stoicism but upon being made privy to what really I ? Mm?
I grew up in NC, so we learned about the Trail of Tears. I moved to Oklahoma for college. We never learned about the Tulsa Race Massacre. I asked friends from here, and they'd never learned about it in school. Crazy.
"This is such an eye-opening video! It's unfortunate that there are many historical events that schools often overlook or only briefly touch upon. Kudos to WatchMojo for shedding light on these important moments that deserve more attention. One event that comes to mind is the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923). This tragic event, where the Ottoman Empire systematically persecuted and killed millions of Armenians, is often not given the emphasis it deserves in history classes. It's crucial to acknowledge and learn from such atrocities to ensure they are not repeated. Additionally, the Rwandan Genocide (1994) is another event that is often overlooked in school curriculum. The mass killings of hundreds of thousands of Tutsis by Hutu extremists is a poignant reminder of the consequences of ethnic tensions and the importance of promoting peace and unity. By expanding our knowledge of history beyond what is taught in schools, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the world and the events that have shaped it. Let's continue to explore and learn from these lesser-known historical events to broaden our perspectives."
In ww2 the u.s. had concentration camps built for Americans of Japanese descent. Over 125,000 American citizens were arrested for being Asian. The u.s. doesn't teach about that one very often.
They cannot teach about the Tulsa Race Riots in the state of Oklahoma today. At least it can’t be taught that it was based on race. Thanks to Ryan Walters, the head of the Ok Dept of Education. The guy is a real piece of work.
The Tulsa massacre, I did not hear of until I saw the HBO Max “Watchmen” series. I immediately googled for more info. So shocking. I talked to a friend. He had gone to Catholic school and learned of it, but public told me nothing. I graduated high school in 1982 to put a date on it.
I find it rather interesting that almost all of the ones that are racially motivated are the ones that are never taught in schools. I remember in school basically being told "Martin Luther King Jr said racism is bad" and not really being told EXACTLY what was happening beyond segregation. As a white kid in a 99% white school with like 1 black kid, I had no idea, and was so clueless as to how bad it truly was. These things NEED to start being taught.
I took a Race, Riots and Violence class in college and that was when I learned of the stonewall riots. Learned so much in that class about different groups fighting for rights throughout American history.
No, it doesn't. There are an equal number of such events detailing man's inhumanity to man, stemming from all creeds and all colors... historical enslavement in ALL nations of like and dissimilar people, Native American wars and massacres among themselves, pograms against Jews throughout the world, Islamic slaughter and enslaving of infidels, forced sterilizations, ongoing human trafficking. America is no exception, but is far from the worst culprit.
As a African American, my history seen to repeat itself over and over again. Now with the brawl incident in Montgomery, Alabama and now the learning’s about the first woman falsely arrested for refusing to give her seat to white passengers to the Oklahoma riots of a black man wrongly accused by any means has left permanent scars and damage to the minds of black people. 😢 Thoughts and prayers for the victims of segregation and politicians, law enforcement and American citizens must do better than this.
"Those who fail to remember the past (or learn from history) are doomed to repeat it." ~ George Santayana. Politicians' efforts to ban books as of late shows they don't future generations to learn it.
Yeah, this confused me too. I absolutely learned about the Trail of Tears and Wounded Knee in high school. Not sure where they got this information from.
They have also censored the fact that the Cherokee Indian tribe petitioned all the way to the Supreme Court that the force removal of their land was illegal, and the Court ruled in their favor. Yet Andrew Jackson ignored the Supreme Court and went ahead with the forced removal anyway.
I am a passionate lover of history! Similar to the theme of this video, here are some historical facts/events a lot of people I talk to don’t know: 1. An airplane once crashed into the Empire State Building 2. The Oscar movie award was named after a Hollywood employee once said the statue looked like her uncle Oscar 3. The USS Maine whose explosion set off the Spanish-American War in 1898 was not bombed by any enemy, it was later discovered to have been destroyed by an internal malfunction 4. Charles Darwin did not coin the phrase “survival of the fittest” it was coined by a sociologist named Herbert Spencer 5. Joseph Stalin was not Russian, nor was Hitler German 6. The Korean War was never officially declared nor has it ever officially ended 7. The Bubonic Plague did not originate in Europe, it actually started in China 8. Lee Harvey Oswald was actually well known to the authorities even before he killed JFK. He had tried to move to Russia at one point 9. Genghis Khan boiled some of his enemies alive 10. Despite being pretty racist, Andrew Johnson was an abolitionist
I saw "Gangs of New York" loosely based on a true story. (The movie with Leonardo DeCaprio). I had no idea anything like that was going on when it did. The movie was the first time I'd ever heard about it. I think it was important enough to mention, but the schools in my town in CA weren't really high quality.
@@The_king567 When hundreds of thousands of Americans are locked away in glorified concentration camps, or Black neighborhoods are destroyed and people murdered over racism, it's "important" to American history. History needs to be taught, warts and all.
@@The_king567 Because you believe they are not "important", then they shouldn't be? Sorry for breaking it to you, but you are not America. You only get to decide for yourself to remain ignorant of the facts. You don't get to decide for everyone else. Actually, I'm not sorry at all :)
@@awwrelic they definitely are not important even compared to other things in American history like the revolution or the Civil War for example there is more also god you people are so ridiculous honestly
I assumed that the biggest act of domestic terrorism before 911 was the Oklahoma City bombing where 168 people were killed. Isn't that correct? By the way, do schools teach about the interment camps in the USA in which Japanese-Americans were imprisoned during World War 2? Great video - thank you.
These things were taught to us but in malicious ways. Instead of saying Europeans brutally murdered the Native Americans we were told that they tried to “civilize” them
One thing that I only discovered late in high school or early in college was "Operation Chariot". This was a British combined operations commando raid on the "Normandie" drydock at st. Nazaire, on the french atlantic coast. It involved packing the bow of a destroyer with explosives that were on a fuse and sailing it at full speed into the dock gates. Then, Royal Army Commandos went ashore and blew up anything that was needed to operate the drydock before getting on a handful of small un-armored small boats and heading back home.
Considering just how important the wars of religion are to understanding other historical events like the Salem witch trials and Galileo’s trial it’s crazy how little there touched upon.
I had never heard of the Tulsa massacre until I saw the opening scene of the HBO Watchmen series. I said "WTF is this? Did this really happen?". OUTRAGEOUS

School is there to teach us how to learn. From there it is our responsibility to educate ourselves.
Teachers write their own lesson plans. It's bound to be biased in some way, even unintentionally, down to the choices of what they leave out. And there is no getting around that because it's inherently human.

Ever so true!

100% :)
I’m a Native American (Apache to be exact).
Lots of injustices that have happened to us are hardly ever mentioned.
I grew up in a very white Canada and knew zero about the Indian School system, last one closed in 97. 1,000's of child murders and lots of pedophile priests still alive today but no one is looking for them. You seem a lot calmer about this than me or you're just being polite. If I catch one of these perverts it's goodbye.
Probably because then the whole "we are victims mentality" in US would not work and they could not exploit people. They need black people to be the biggest victims because there are way more of them than Native Americans so they are way more profitable.
Wym everyone in america knows
@@dustinchennaw everyone doesn't know just like a lot of the injustice against minorites aren't taught in traditional school curriculum. We never learned about Tulsa ok or the history of lake Lanier in school and those were great injustices I'm sure it's plenty related to native Americans that they don't talk about either
I learned about the trail of tears in school. This list is balogna.
As a history teacher we do learn about the Indian Removal Act and Trail of Tears. I teach about the Massacre at Wounded Knee and have been there. Don’t forget about Seneca Village in NYC and the Walking Purchase by the Penn family after William died.
We do a whole section on slavery and race relations in the US and the world.
We talk about Mao and Doc and the background of the hostage crisis in Iran in my geography class as well.
Of course you do so did I. Clickbait nonsense.
Right!?
I was about to say . . . I'm an Army Brat so I moved around a lot and was taught about the Trail of Tears multiple times throughout my years in different education systems and I graduated in highschool in 2005 so it's nothing new either 😒
Conservatives are slowly trying to make sure kids dont learn about that or african american history. Its sick and i will make sure my kids learn everything
To be clear, you learned the American white washed version.
The Zoot Suit Riots were an ugly event in U.S. history but they never get discussed in school.
I remember my Father telling me about the trail of tears. Even as a young girl, I felt a deep sorrow for the Native Peoples. It was my father who often told me the school books were wrong.
I' m a teacher myself and there's a lot of stuff we're told to gloss over and not cover. Hell i didn't learn about some of these until i went to college and even then it was just an abridged version.
Its like that old saying History is recorded by the winners. They never really tell us what happened to losers 😞.
And that's how it should be.
There are SO MANY things that a few semesters a year of schooling could never cover.
School is there to teach us how to learn. From there it is our responsibility to educate ourselves.
Teachers write their own lesson plans from my understanding. It's bound to be biased in some way, even unintentionally, down to the choices of what they leave out. And there is no getting around that because it's inherently human.
We also don't want the government mandating a more strict and set in stone lesson plan for every school district... because can you imagine what the government would want you teachers to leave out?
So the best solution is to educate ourselves. Take the forms of learning that we were taught and use them while seeking information.
The "history written by the winners" philosophy is dangerous. It leads to a sort of complacency that glosses over issues that tend to be inconvenient.
@@fromthehaven94 that's my point!
@fromthehaven94 I learned that WW2 was just like WW1, it wasn't an if but when and also wasn't black and white.
@@xboxseriesxoverlord Try to write a legible sentence, please.
Middle-Eastern conflicts have always been complicated even learning about them today, so not sure how schools would have taught them. I briefly learned about the Trail of Tears in elementary school, but not about what started it or how many died.
Stone Wall and Colvin I learned from Drunk History of all places.
Wall Street Attack, Bacon's Rebellion, Armenian Genocide, and Tulsa was never brought up in school. I learned more about Tears and Tulsa recently in my Humanities classes in College and found them both incredibly upsetting. Those were the angriest 4 months of my life.
The Armenian genocide never happened
It's wild how you denounced education, only to sing it's praises to conclude your lengthy manifesto
Similarly to the Trail of Tears, growing up in Canada Catholic School System did not teach the treatment of Indigenous persons via the 60s Scoop and Resident Schools. I did learn about these extensively in my post secondary (College) education though.
The opportunity to mention Marsha P Johnson, during the Stonewall segment, was terribly missed!
Right!
Absolutely!!! I was waiting for them to mention her.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that they didn't mention Marsha or Sylvia
Because that honor belongs to Storme DeLarverie.
@@mistymarshall5438 no tf it does not
Definitely need a part 2 because they never really taught about the Moors.. What happened in the Republic of the Congo .. The riots around the US during the draft of the Civil War etc...
Other events involving Indigenous people we weren't taught about in school:
The Long Walk of the Navajo
The Osage Nation Murders
The Occupation of Alcatraz
Trail of Broken Treaties
Wounded Knee Occupation
Nobody cares and the rising Latino population in America is gonna show you that too. We don't care.
Womp womp
I remember learning about the trail of tears in history class. Don't get me wrong, I took advanced history classes, but we did cover it.
One thing that we didn't cover was Japan's WWII invasion of China (particularly Nanjin), and their abduction of "comfort women" from China, Korea, and other surrounding territories. That kind of stuff was always glossed over and usually the only thing mentioned about Japan's WWII involvement in school was the attack on Pearl Harbor and us dropping the bomb on Hiroshima.
Japan even razed Darwin to the ground on February 19, 1942 in their efforts to occupy territory over the Pacific.
@@JamesDavy2009 Crazy right? All I can remember from History class about WWII was "Japan attacked Pearl Harbor", "Germans were bad", and then "America dropped a nuke on Japan, and now America is the bad guy..."
They completely gloss over all the horrible crap Japan did, and mainly talk about the horrible crap we did to Japan like internment camps, and dropping the bomb on Hiroshima (the funny thing is I don't even remember them mentioning Nagasaki).
It wasn't until I started a fling with a Japanese girl in my 20s and I learned about Nanjing and the "comfort women" from her, because she was explaining to me about how there are actual Japanese WWII deniers = people who claim Japan wasn't even involved in WWII and it is all a conspiracy made up by China and America...
I get that there is a guilt from how low we sunk and they are trying to "right the wrong", after all there was a reason America put over 100,000 Asian people in interment camps opposed to 11,000 Germans, and dropped the 2 nukes on Japan instead of Germany = Germans were white... but straight up ignoring important parts of the war won't help matters. It will only encourage the conspiracy theories that some of the Japanese WWII deniers still spout even today.
@@jfmdevil6239 Textbooks claim WWll started when Hitler invaded Poland September 1st, 1939. They never say Japan invaded China 9 years earlier (1931) and proceeded to attack Taiwan, the Philippines, Australia, and a bunch of other islands in the east.
How dare they take pieces of human property!!!
Amazing how much history gets lost or never talked about...same with music and movies.
I'm in my 50s and I'm still discovering nuggets from all of these areas
Growing up in Tulsa, I still didn’t learn about the Tulsa Race Massacre until I was in my 20s!
You probably didn’t pay attention in school
You forgot to mention during the Tulsa Race Riots they actually had airplanes that bombed the poor town. There are actually people who recalled hearing and seeing them.
The 1st time there were ever air bombings in America, at that.
Dropping turpentine balls.
I have been to Tulsa recently and one of the building have a piece of one the original buildings and the bricks were melted together. That’s how hot is was when they dropped the bombs
Osage "Reign of Terror" (1921 - 1926)
Red Summer of 1919
MOVE bombing - 1985
Centennial Park bombing - 1996
The Spanish flu pandemic - 1918
Chinese massacre in Los Angeles - 1875
Fred Hampton assassination - 1969
The Camden NJ shootings - 1949
University of TX Austin mass shooting - 1966
And my favorite one that is never talked about in school was Juneteenth, 1865.
Juneteenth not taught in school or being a holiday is actually insane. i was shocked when i learned about it at 22!!!!
With the Centennial Park bombing, Eric Rudolph also attempted bombings at an LGBT night club in the Atlanta area and at an abortion clinic in Birmingham. Just sad that the FBI did not see the connections at first and blamed an innocent man, and that a small NC town came to revere Rudolph as some Christian rebel against an evil government and protected his whereabouts for years.
I'm a history teacher and we do teach all of these but sometimes you have parents who are extremely protective over what they want their kids to learn so it makes it difficult but I still do it. I believe in the saying "Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it".
And those who actively work to suppress the learning of history fully intend on repeating it.
This was really interesting! I did learn about the Trail of Tears in high school and about the real first bus refuser during an episode of Mysteries at the Museum, but I had not learned about the other stories. Thanks for sharing and I hope we see more of these types of videos. I know there are many more stories that schools don’t teach.
I was educated in US public schools, graduating high school in 1991. Quite literally all of these events were taught in school. It's still good to talk about these things but they at least used to be taught in ordinary US public schools.
I remember that, as a Korean Immigrant who attended an American Public school from 1997-2009, I kind of wished that the "World History" section for Korea was a bit more informed, at least between WWI and the Korean War. Especially when it came down to WWII. I knew that Japan had annexed Korea, but I remember that I never read about it in school. Korea was mentioned during the Korean War, but even that was covered in a couple paragraphs.
Never forget that school is not there to teach us everything.
It is there to teach us HOW TO LEARN.
That is why it is only a small part of our life. For the years after we get out of school, it is our responsibility to continue learning.
Teachers write their own lesson plans. It's bound to be biased in some way, even unintentionally, down to the choices of what they leave out. And there is no getting around that because it's inherently human.
We also don't want the government mandating a more strict and set in stone lesson plan for every school district... because can you imagine what the government would want teachers to leave out?
So the best solution is to educate ourselves. Take the forms of learning that we were taught and use them while seeking information.
Also... As a Korean I implore you to research Syngman Rhee. If you haven't already.
He was trained by the US and put into power as the first Korean president when the US had it's hands in who would be elected that year.
He caused multiple massacres and ordered many deaths. He was beyond hated and the entire country was staging a coup.
He was rescued by the CIA and flown out privately to Hawai'i where he lived the rest of his life safe and free... all thanks to the US government.
Thank you for mentioning Stonewall. It really should be taught. All of these things should be taught.
I’m a history teacher at a high school in Alabama (where us teachers have our hands tied, quite frankly). I am ALWAYS skeptical when I hear people says “we didn’t learn that in history!” for some events. A lot of these, and other similar events, are covered. Unfortunately, many high school-aged students just aren’t interested in history or don’t yet have the maturity to apply themselves.
Learned about all of this stuff in school. No new information learned from this video other than it's an indictment on the public education system but perhaps if they actually taught history instead of trying to rewrite it then that would fix the problem. After all, those that do not study history are doomed to repeat it.
In school, I enjoyed learning about history, but I was never taught about the Wall Street attack of 1920! Wow, you learn something new every day
The podcast Timesuck with Dan Cummins cover a lot of these topics in more detail. It's amazing how much we aren't taught in school.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll give this podcast a listen today.
It took the HBO Watchman series for most of America to learn about the "Black Wall Street" massacre
Thanks WM! Some of these events have been taught a decent amount in my school, some have been only slightly brought up, and others I find out using the wonders of the internet. Thank you.
I was taught about most of these, I'm questioning what your teachers taught you. These were not a small note in history or social studies when I was in school.
My college prep high school ended the history lessons at WW2. They expected our parents to talk about events after that and our parents expected the same from the schools. And they even left out the internment camps in this country.
Sad to say that, in certain parts of the U.S., schools are prohibited from teaching you about these events.
I grew up in such an area. I didn’t know a thing about ANY of these incidents except a blithe mention of the Trail of Tears. I was appalled and cried real tears when I learned of the Tulsa Massacre. Same thing with the Red Summer of 1919 Riots (not mentioned here) which was spawned when a white boxer was defeated fair and square by a black one.
@@iismyalias My Irish grandfather lived in Tulsa at the time, a few streets away. His sister, who was a social worker in Tulsa, wanted an investigation of the woman whose complaint started the riot.
Along with the bravery of our patriots who fought to make our country free, we need to learn how a country that is supposedly free can get away with oppressing large segments of the population and about the bravery of the people who risked their lives fighting against that oppression. We cannot become a perfect nation unless we teach our students how to identify, confront and overcome our imperfections.
I learned about most of these in junior high/high school, and I grew up in a small farming town in Oklahoma. I thought everyone grew up learning these.
This list forgot another historical event that was not taught nor mentioned at the textbooks at schools in the US:
• Filipino🇵🇭 - American🇺🇲 War, and the atrocities of the US forces committed against the Filipino civilian people (including muslims in Mindanao).
Mao was a brutal dictator similar to Joseph Stalin. It's a shame how often he is overlooked and forgotten.
He isn't in any of the countries in Asia, that's for sure!
Propaganda .
@@Shinzon23mao was based
They also never talk about how it didn’t work the community got back together and rebuilt their town it wasn’t until “Urban redevelopment” that destroyed the community.
@@dustinchen how is it propaganda to say Mao was a monster? We have entire archives full of the shit he got up to.
As a black fan of WatchMojo who's watched your compilations for years, it feels so good that you addressed some of the most purposefully "erased" events in history. It is unfortunate that soon, children in the future won't even know about the historical events actually taught in schools presently thanks to unhinged politicians.
I also a black fan thought the first 1920 attack was about BLACK wall street and I was like they got the year wrong. Then I kept watching 😅
That awkward moment when you're not sure if you learned these things in school or the 33 years of living with ADHD filled with midnight hyperfocused dives down various rabbit holes is the real reason you know these....
The Bengal famine of 1943 caused by British Rule in India
An estimated 3 million people died due to the Bengal famine of 1943
I was taught about the Trail of Tears in school. Admittedly probably not as in depth as it should have been. I haven't heard of any of the others. I always love learning about events I don't know about.
Same. I took an African American studies course in college and I learned about the Tulsa Race Massacre as well as the Boston Busing Crisis for the first time.
My great grandmother witnessed her entire family getting brutally murdered by the Turks during the Armenian genocide. She was also beaten, raped, and tortured to the point where she went permanently deaf. She managed to flee to Israel and if she hadn't escaped, I wouldn't be here typing this comment right now.
I really wish schools would talk about this event more. I agree that the holocaust was a horrible dark chapter in human history, but this event is just as bad.
2:56 "At least 38 people and the horse perished from the attack..." poor horse never had a chance.
In 4th grade I had to do one of those "science project" boards but about Native American history. My dad convinced me to do the project on the Trail of Tears. It got a good grade and we kept it around for a long time. I think I still have the essay that I wrote along with the board in my home now almost 30 years later.
Man, you could make multiple top 20 videos on this subject and have plenty to spare
in these days schools dont teach anything that is useful
Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens): The Alamo was built without a basement
Simone (Diane Salinger): Oh dear...I didn't know that!
Pee Wee: Neither did I. They don't tell you that stuff in school. That's just something you have to experience.
No surprise schools and especially American schools don't teach a lot of history that people should know
Great video!
Thanks for sharing. Not heard about the 1920s wall street attack, or the stonewall riots, thanks for mentioning them. Also the Civil Rights went off the mark. We only know about Rosa Parka and MLK.....WELL I only heard about Rosa from Doctor Who, but like there was loads of them from 1955-1970 odd. History has left them all out almost. I only heard about them after their passing. They are now 'Pioneers'. They should have more of a mention
Love these videos
Tulsa massacre. They really don’t teach about how evil a lot of European royals really are. Colonization. I didn’t learn about Leopold until I was an adult. He was almost as bad as hitler, if not worse
Nah. He's one of the few people to be legitimately worse than Hitler.
Yugoslavian war and massacre. That is something that must not be forgotten.
I know of a fact that was never brought up, and it's about Cleopatra. She lived closer to the Apollo 11 launch than the building of the pyramids.
does your mom know you're on the computer again? We're talking about millions of dead people, not a game.
These are all good choices. I would add the Coal Mine Wars in West Virginia from 1901 to 1922. This was the largest armed insurrection in the US since the Civil War.
Something else major we never really learn about in schools is the Rape Nanking or Unit 731. Unit 731 stuff was not declassified until the 1980s, but I was in HS in the early 2000s. We should learn about that, IMO--including the part where the U.S. helped cover it up.
Agreed. I distinctly remember that the first time I'd even heard of the word "vivisection ". ...at the time I was 6'3 245 lbs known for my stoicism but upon being made privy to what really I ? Mm?
Very interesting 👌
I have a teacher who would give yearly seminars to teach students about the Tulsa Race Massacre. I’m surprised it isn’t talked about more
I went to high school in Oklahoma and never even heard of the Tulsa Race Riots until the Watchmen TV show on HBO.
I grew up in NC, so we learned about the Trail of Tears. I moved to Oklahoma for college. We never learned about the Tulsa Race Massacre. I asked friends from here, and they'd never learned about it in school. Crazy.
I’d add the eugenics movement and the disability civil rights movement.
Most awesome vid!!!!!!
"This is such an eye-opening video! It's unfortunate that there are many historical events that schools often overlook or only briefly touch upon. Kudos to WatchMojo for shedding light on these important moments that deserve more attention.
One event that comes to mind is the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923). This tragic event, where the Ottoman Empire systematically persecuted and killed millions of Armenians, is often not given the emphasis it deserves in history classes. It's crucial to acknowledge and learn from such atrocities to ensure they are not repeated.
Additionally, the Rwandan Genocide (1994) is another event that is often overlooked in school curriculum. The mass killings of hundreds of thousands of Tutsis by Hutu extremists is a poignant reminder of the consequences of ethnic tensions and the importance of promoting peace and unity.
By expanding our knowledge of history beyond what is taught in schools, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the world and the events that have shaped it. Let's continue to explore and learn from these lesser-known historical events to broaden our perspectives."
In ww2 the u.s. had concentration camps built for Americans of Japanese descent. Over 125,000 American citizens were arrested for being Asian. The u.s. doesn't teach about that one very often.
Yes they god you people are not smart
No historical event should ever be ignored any school.
They cannot teach about the Tulsa Race Riots in the state of Oklahoma today. At least it can’t be taught that it was based on race. Thanks to Ryan Walters, the head of the Ok Dept of Education. The guy is a real piece of work.
I'd love if School history taught us about the Stonewall events, or anything linked to LGBTQA Plus issues, rather than countless Wars.
I learned about the ‘Trail of Tears’ in middle school. Very heartbreaking 💔
I was taught about the Trail of Tears in elementary school 🤨
I had never heard of it until they mentioned it on the walking dead.
Will this video even play in Florida? Or is it blocked statewide?
Aside from Bacon's Rebellion, The Armenian Genocide, and the Trail of Tears, I was never taught the other topics
I read about the Trail of Tears 😢😞
The Tulsa massacre, I did not hear of until I saw the HBO Max “Watchmen” series. I immediately googled for more info. So shocking. I talked to a friend. He had gone to Catholic school and learned of it, but public told me nothing. I graduated high school in 1982 to put a date on it.
I find it rather interesting that almost all of the ones that are racially motivated are the ones that are never taught in schools. I remember in school basically being told "Martin Luther King Jr said racism is bad" and not really being told EXACTLY what was happening beyond segregation. As a white kid in a 99% white school with like 1 black kid, I had no idea, and was so clueless as to how bad it truly was.
These things NEED to start being taught.
Florida Governor, Ron Desantis wants these events to be taught less.
We need to start teaching the racism in the black community against whites that has prevailed for the last 50 years.
This is why history is important... Those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it.
#2 what we did to Native Americans should also be called a genocide.
I took a Race, Riots and Violence class in college and that was when I learned of the stonewall riots. Learned so much in that class about different groups fighting for rights throughout American history.
The fact so many of these terrible events happened in one country says it all.
No, it doesn't. There are an equal number of such events detailing man's inhumanity to man, stemming from all creeds and all colors... historical enslavement in ALL nations of like and dissimilar people, Native American wars and massacres among themselves, pograms against Jews throughout the world, Islamic slaughter and enslaving of infidels, forced sterilizations, ongoing human trafficking. America is no exception, but is far from the worst culprit.
It’s kind of upsetting that some schools don’t teach these because I’m lucky they I was taught all of these in central Virginia.
As a African American, my history seen to repeat itself over and over again. Now with the brawl incident in Montgomery, Alabama and now the learning’s about the first woman falsely arrested for refusing to give her seat to white passengers to the Oklahoma riots of a black man wrongly accused by any means has left permanent scars and damage to the minds of black people. 😢 Thoughts and prayers for the victims of segregation and politicians, law enforcement and American citizens must do better than this.
"Those who fail to remember the past (or learn from history) are doomed to repeat it."
~ George Santayana.
Politicians' efforts to ban books as of late shows they don't future generations to learn it.
My school taught the Trail of Tears, Battle of Wounded Knee, and the Iranian Revolution. The Stonewall Riots we might have went over briefly.
I don’t know about you guys, but I definitely learned about the trail of tears in school. 🧐
Yeah, this confused me too. I absolutely learned about the Trail of Tears and Wounded Knee in high school. Not sure where they got this information from.
They have also censored the fact that the Cherokee Indian tribe petitioned all the way to the Supreme Court that the force removal of their land was illegal, and the Court ruled in their favor. Yet Andrew Jackson ignored the Supreme Court and went ahead with the forced removal anyway.
I am a passionate lover of history! Similar to the theme of this video, here are some historical facts/events a lot of people I talk to don’t know:
1. An airplane once crashed into the Empire State Building
2. The Oscar movie award was named after a Hollywood employee once said the statue looked like her uncle Oscar
3. The USS Maine whose explosion set off the Spanish-American War in 1898 was not bombed by any enemy, it was later discovered to have been destroyed by an internal malfunction
4. Charles Darwin did not coin the phrase “survival of the fittest” it was coined by a sociologist named Herbert Spencer
5. Joseph Stalin was not Russian, nor was Hitler German
6. The Korean War was never officially declared nor has it ever officially ended
7. The Bubonic Plague did not originate in Europe, it actually started in China
8. Lee Harvey Oswald was actually well known to the authorities even before he killed JFK. He had tried to move to Russia at one point
9. Genghis Khan boiled some of his enemies alive
10. Despite being pretty racist, Andrew Johnson was an abolitionist
I'm gonna guess the Tulsa massacre/Black Wall Street massacre is on here.
Edit: Yep, it was #1 on this list
I never knew about Tulsa until the Watchmen tv series. I had friends that lived there all their lives and they never knew about it.
Only those who hate the truth will hate this video
I saw "Gangs of New York" loosely based on a true story. (The movie with Leonardo DeCaprio). I had no idea anything like that was going on when it did. The movie was the first time I'd ever heard about it. I think it was important enough to mention, but the schools in my town in CA weren't really high quality.
I didn't learn about Black Wall Street being destroyed by Racists, or Japanese internment camps back in History Class. 🙇🏿♂️🙇🏻♀️
Probably because they aren’t important
@@The_king567 When hundreds of thousands of Americans are locked away in glorified concentration camps, or Black neighborhoods are destroyed and people murdered over racism, it's "important" to American history. History needs to be taught, warts and all.
@@awwrelic well they are Taught you have any with your talking about and Again, they are not important sorry to break it to you
@@The_king567 Because you believe they are not "important", then they shouldn't be? Sorry for breaking it to you, but you are not America. You only get to decide for yourself to remain ignorant of the facts. You don't get to decide for everyone else. Actually, I'm not sorry at all :)
@@awwrelic they definitely are not important even compared to other things in American history like the revolution or the Civil War for example there is more also god you people are so ridiculous honestly
I assumed that the biggest act of domestic terrorism before 911 was the Oklahoma City bombing where 168 people were killed. Isn't that correct?
By the way, do schools teach about the interment camps in the USA in which Japanese-Americans were imprisoned during World War 2?
Great video - thank you.
These things were taught to us but in malicious ways. Instead of saying Europeans brutally murdered the Native Americans we were told that they tried to “civilize” them
One thing that I only discovered late in high school or early in college was "Operation Chariot". This was a British combined operations commando raid on the "Normandie" drydock at st. Nazaire, on the french atlantic coast. It involved packing the bow of a destroyer with explosives that were on a fuse and sailing it at full speed into the dock gates. Then, Royal Army Commandos went ashore and blew up anything that was needed to operate the drydock before getting on a handful of small un-armored small boats and heading back home.
If there's a list that needs a Top 20, it's this.
The Illegal “annexation”/occupation of Hawai’i. Or any history on how the US government treats indigenous peoples
I don’t know what schools you went to be the Trail of Tears is talked about.
A school where we learned history and how to type in English?
Considering just how important the wars of religion are to understanding other historical events like the Salem witch trials and Galileo’s trial it’s crazy how little there touched upon.
Rosa Park is the greatest inspiration of black history
Arguably the greatest.
I had never heard of the Tulsa massacre until I saw the opening scene of the HBO Watchmen series.
I said "WTF is this? Did this really happen?". OUTRAGEOUS
This is why parents are making a fuss about CRT they don't want their kids to learn the dark and ugly truth
