>Do other countries even have patriotism the way the US does? Like do kids in history class in France or Brazil or Nigeria learn about how awesome their country is and how much ass they kicked or is it only the US?
Depends on how competent that country's education system really is. Here in Brazil, we learned about our own country's history, and basically nothing about the US' own.
Problem with education in general, in my country at least, is that leftie people are overwhelmingly entrenched in teacher roles. So a lot of what I was taught focused on how foreign powers took advantage of us.
For example, at school, my history teacher told us about the Triple Alliance war, he described it as a "conflict artifically brewed by the British in order to sell guns to both sides in order to profit". Now, while that may have been partially true, I feel like it would've been important to highlight other aspect of it. Such as how Paraguay had it coming(their dictator thought he was going to be SA Napoleon lmao), how Brazil kept the war going after Argentina and Uruguay had already stopped and basically made adult men extinct in that country, how Paraguay only really exists as a buffer between the two large powers in SA, or even how there was a really cool naval battle that we won.
Back to your question, it really depends. Everyone knows America is the only country that will teach their kids that they were the ones whom in fact invented the airplane, that Japanese schools purposely omit about their own war crimes in WWII, and I'm pretty sure French schools won't go into harsh details about their colonial "past".
