The American Revolution is a big part of British history but I want to know if you grow up there, do you study it?

Sadly no. I do not believe it's part of the national curriculum, it certainly wasn't when I was at school. Shame really, fascinating period in history, though I imagine it may well be a case of, let's gloss over that 'embarrassment', here's social and economic history, .....yawn. It is however extensively taught at university level. I imagine by then we are deemed responsible enough to learn that the British Empire really wasn't that great.

About as much as Americans study the British Revolution.

This is coming from an American, but just because it was a fairly large conflict and plus you had the war of 1812 a few years after I would think they would look at it in someway or another. Thats just my guess though.

Nearly all other countries are more interested in world history than American.
They study many things that relate to them less directly as well.

Not a lot.There are far more important topics.
You would probably not find more than 1% of British people who could even date it.
