    At school, history is being covered chronologically

    So you guys learn about Herodotus and Hippocrates in first grade?

      There are no history lessons until 5th or 6th grade - other than that the rough timeline is:

      Stone Age (and bronce age etc.) -> Ancient Egypt -> Ancient Rome -> middle ages, castles, kings and shit [note: this topic is longer than any other] -> French Revolution -> German Revolution -> industrialization -> unification of Germany -> WW1 -> Weimar Republic -> WW2 -> now we’re in grade 11, go back to German revolution and cover everything from there in more detail
