How many of you were taught that the 'North's invasion of the South' (1950) and not the 'Jeju Island massacre' (1948), was the start of the Korean War? (lemmygrad.ml)

Absolutely, my experience is very similar. It's pretty stark how much more vague history we were taught became covering anything more recent than WWII. Granted, everything before that was heavily skewed to the American Imperialist perspective anyway, but we at least went more in-depth in events that happened. I could tell you more about the start of WWI than any details about any post-WWII war coming out of high school.
