In Finland, we usually had around 2-5 hours of history per week, depending on the school timetable we had (it changed atleast twice per year). We studied Roman Empire for a very short time in the 1st grade, then Finnish/Swedish history (with a little bit history of WW2) from 2nd to 3rd grade, British and French history (colonial times) from 4th to 6th grade, history of the USA in 7th grade, history of Asia (mostly Japan) in the first half of the 8th grade and after that just 19th to 21th century history. After 9th grade, you can only study history if you go to high school, I think.
