I'm a bit surprised that the original revolution is listed as "international history" though. Although in school we do our Revolution and then skate right over France's, because that didn't particularly have anything directly to do with us.
(Here's a bit of AmericanHistoryFail - One of my teachers was slow going through the syllabus in middle school, so we learned right up to our Civil War one year and picked up after it the next. Rather a big gap to have in one's education, although the end result - knowing how it ended - doesn't change!)
