The reason American kids don't know their geography is that you guys decided to have a 'quiet' Empire instead of an overt one :P During the hey-day of the British Empire (and even into the 50s) British Schoolchildren were bombarded with maps and globes showing the extent of British influence/power. It was part of the Imperial doctrination that our schoolchildren were routinely treated to.
