Brazil here. Kinda.
So our history books begin on the year 1500, with the arrival of the Portuguese here. No talk about the natives that were here first or how they even got here, but okay. Then it's fine for a few centuries (other than a slight whitewashing of it all), then it's really mediocre for the 20th century; I don't know if it happens everywhere, but I really only learned about the good parts of each government and not really about the bad parts (other than the military dictatorship, of course, you can't really sugarcoat that). Overall, though, I feel it's mostly taught as something like a fairy tale, something that happened long ago and has no bearing on current events and our culture. I only got to understand the consequences of our history on sociology class in high school.
