recent video by OTR talking about the food of Ko Kret and having to explain the interaction of the Siam Kingdom, the Mon people, and the Burmese kingdom – and I am reminded once again how little actual world history we get in US schools – to say it is Euro-centric is putting it mildly – the only time any other country is mentioned is in its relation to it being conquered or colonized by a European nation
Why Does Ko Kret Have Thailand’s Most Unusual Food Scene? ↗
the empires and kingdoms of Southeast Asia are ignored – Asia is represented by
China and Japan, India being nothing more than an extension of the British
Empire – the empires between India and Constantinople are ignored – the Levant
is currently being erased (both in the real world and in our history books) –
the Persian empires are only mentioned in their conflicts with Greece – Africa
is ignored – aside from the Spanish-American War, Central and South America are
ignored until the word socialism
is brough up
the day after
the day before
