So in my case I think it depends. Im from Spain but basically education is more regulated by our autonomous community. With that and during high school it was mostly Civil war and Catalan nationalism, thats they only thing the would ask for univ entrance exams for example. Even if you could choose history related subjects like modern history it would just talk about both WW. I believe that european countries focus a lot on that but theres a lack of information in text books at least after that, no talking about cold war, korean war, cultural revolution... which I think are basics to have a bit of understanding about today's problems.
