Not even mentioned? E.g. the great man-made famine of 1935 in the USSR is mentioned in the school history course in Russia. Post-Soviet, admittedly, but still closer in time by a century. To say nothing of the US school programs mentioning quite a bit of bad things that have been done by the Americans during the last couple of centuries.
What Americans don't learn about is that the famine we nearly triggered here during WWII was caused by seizing farms owned by Japanese Americans and then running them into the fucking ground. I've heard claims that the food rationing would have been totally unnecessary if not for that.
Most of them didn't get those farms back after the war either.
I'd learned about the internment camps from a human rights perspective, and the loss of family businesses, but I'm ashamed to admit I'd never learned about the economic impact until now.
I had to check the veracity of this, and it seems to be true. By 1945, Japanese American farms were responsible for 30%+ of the agricultural output of California.
I only heard about this a few years ago. About the fourth time I listened to someone talk about the camps. Which we did talk about during school but very briefly.
