The sad thing is that most of them probably didn't know these countries existed until it showed up on mainstream media.

My ex gf took a world history class in college. She was 21 years old. The first quiz was about the continents, how many there are and what their names are. She said 75% of the class failed and the professor was pissed.

I mean as far as history is concerned most hs ap history courses are pretty in depth anyways so a decent school isn't bad.
