In Spain we study the American Revolution, as the first of the liberal democratic revolutions, in as much detail as our own civil war. Or we did 20+ years ago. So I guess the Brits do too and the other commenter is just teasing or something.

Nah, we spend as much time on the American civil war as on our own civil war. Which is basically nothing.

I think I heard about cavilers and Roundheads in primary school, and that's it. No reason for the civil war, no discussion about what Cromwell did in Ireland.

We really don't. Our history curriculum is much more concerned with ancient history. As far as I can remember, we spent a little time on the colonisation of the Americas then didn't mention them again until the world wars.
