There is so much that school curricula could cover in limited space of time. But yes, a brief mention of the Commonwealth's participation in WWII shouldn't take too much time so it should not be an excuse.

I feel like we mostly only learn about the history of other countries through the context of interactions they've had with the US. Plus a smattering of ancient history. And I think that's a pretty big blind spot. It would go a long way to break us from our US-centric world view.
