How do lessons in history vary based on where you live?

In the USA, we are never really the "bad" guy when taught our own history (aside from like slavery and stuff). Do other countries do that too, shaping the story to make it seem like they aren't in the wrong? I'm sure with things like Germany and Hitler that can only go so far, but with other things, I'm sure it's similar.

We were taught that as Australians we'd killed off the Aboriginals, well, most of them. And as decedents of the British Empire, that we'd tried to do the same to every other native people in the world. But we were also taught that the British army sent Australian soldiers to their deaths in WW1 and how that was wrong and blah blah blah blah. But WW1 was everybody's fault. Oh but we were the heroes of WW2 along with the Americans and British. But generally we were told by our teachers that we had treated a lot of people badly, and that those native people were living in peaceful, wonderful savage but noble existence before we turned up. Which isn't true, humans are humans and sooner or later one group of humans will bump into another group of humans and they will do the wrong thing. The Aboriginals of Australia were kicking the shit out of each other, just as our ancestors had been, long before we showed up, we were just better at it and there were more of us.
