Just to add some (unprovoked) additional info here: I'm a 26 year old Canadian. We covered early Canadian history, abuse of the aboriginal peoples of Canada, war with America, and WW1/WW2/the Holocaust.
I don't think we were really taught at all about European/Asian history or the Soviet Union. I think I could have taken some classes related to those in highschool (secondary school), but for anyone working towards a non-history bachelor's degree those courses were generally not something that you could fit in your timetable.
I am 30. In all my schooltime history classes, we never covered any famine in India or the Global South. Only the Holocaust, the Holodomor, the Irish Potato Famine, the Chinese famine, and maybe I'm forgetting a few. These are the main times famine showed up in our books. No discussion about Armenia, or any related such things. Population transfer policies of the USSR and China were discussed (and these are close to genocide). Native American extermination was obviously covered heavily. As was the role of slavery in American history up to the present day.
I believe there was also one in Africa committed by Belgium in the Congo? I remember seeing some photos of something cruel from there to this effect.
The Congo belonged personally to King Leopold of Belgian (not the Belgian state). His minions committed all sorts of atrocities, mainly in the pursuit of rubber. You can read about it online, but it is stomach churning stuff.
