> I would be so bold at to assert that no millennial really taught that a) Britannia had an empire and b) Britain ruled the waves.

Millenial here from the US. I was taught about the British Empire, extensively, in both high school and college. My high school teacher played "Rule, Britannia" (lyrics include "rule the waves") for us to hammer home the point.

Maybe you meant no millennial in Britain?

Not a universal experience though: also a US Millennial, in middle school/highschool our history classes were pretty much only US history, and only touched world history as GP described. We did have a world history elective in highschool though, but it was an advanced placement class and not everyone could take it. No history classes during college.

Additionally my history classes all ended around the 60s-70s - roughly when the teachers were kids. Seemingly from their perspective "history" didn't include anything they experienced.

Sorry, yes, I should have been more specific
