Not really a lie but I’m surprised how little they covered major international events, especially wars like WWI/WWII/Korea/Vietnam, etc.
Is this in the US?
Because the version I learned about in my indoctrination American education was a lot of this was covered, but on a extremely Pro-american slant. Like literally everyone was struggling until America stepped in and stopped the Nazis, communists, etc. Even the narrative around the Vietnam war was that it was Americans helping the poor struggling citizens of Vietnam.

Yeah, I’m guessing the more liberalized history books chose to just omit it as opposed to justifying it.
