I'm not sure you'd pass your history exam with either of those answers

Hey, I got 100% in my History A level. And if there was an exam for historical trolling, I'd ace that too.

Seriously though, Cromwell is the least-famous-most-important figure in British history. It's amazing how little people know about him

I wonder how much is down to potted school history focusing on roundheads v cavaliers, not on rule/his record in Ireland etc

Sure, but it's barely even covered at school - amazing how a pan-British series of civil wars & constitutional crises is so poorly known

Been a while since I did A-level history, but it seemed Nazis were the obsession to exclusion of all else.

Yes, Nazis, Tudors and World War I & II. Only in A Level did we do hist of empire, trade unionism, suffrage and colonialism. Lefty teachers.

Ah awesome, so lucky! With us it was Hitler, Franco, Mussolini and Stalin. That was it. Mind you, quite useful now I guess... :-/
