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.

history books are written in a way to be at least plausible to most of the audience. the only reason anyone is forcefully told to learn the history of something is because they want you to view things from their perspective.
