Now there's the difference in a nutshell. You guys have
"world geography" (as opposed to American geography")
while we have "geography". Same thing with history. The
idea of having a subject called "Swedish history" and a
different subject called "world history" sounds a bit
odd to my Swedish ears. But then again, the US is known
for its nationalism, while Sweden isn't.
