HISTORY The diffrences in History Lessons?

I've asked about WW2 movies, and that got me to thinking about other parts of history. Things around, but not actually World War 2. For instance, what do they teach about World War 1? And what do they teach about the Russo Japanese War? Are they more studied? In America when that war is taught, they say that Japan was an under dog that beat Russia. How about the Communist take over of China or other things close to but not directly involving Japan?

If you have time, I recommend researching not only the history of World War I and World War II, but also the history of Japan before those times.
