History during primary education (first twelve years) is pretty America-centric (It is our country, of course). In my public education, though, there were significant periods of time dedicated to the Roman Empire, Renaissance and Reformation, and ome of the 15th/16th century European history. There may have been a bit of talk about the French revolution era. Past that, in college (university?), it depends on which classes you choose to take, but classes on specific eras and geological locations are almost always available and extensive.
