About 70% of our history books in Norway are about Norwegian/Norse history, different vikings and old Norse kings, the like. Most of our history classes covered stuff that I'm certain other countries would never learn unless they searched it up specifically.

We are also taught that the first European to discover America was Leif Eriksson, while it seems the US learns that it's Christopher Columbus... 馃
