I pretty much knew nothing about WWI until grad school, and even then it's an era of history in which I don't know even the true basics. Of course, most of my WWII knowledge comes from YA novels I read as a kid, because we didn't talk about that in class either. I basically had no modern history in a academic setting pre-this round of grad school.
The Greco-Persian war, however, that I can tell you all about :)
