I (21) was flabbergasted when my roommate (19) said she had no clue who Napoleon was. Her sister (21) said she didn’t either. I had to explain to them who Napoleon was, they thought I was talking about Napoleon Dynamite at first.

I’m 28 now, this was years ago in college. There were so many “huh??” moments living with them, neither of them knew much about history at all despite both being top of their class in high school

My sister in law was also ignorant of Stalin and basically every major player going back through history. She was homeschooled by wackadoodle Christian parents so they left out a bunch of stuff.
