Most people only learn western or eastern history. Actually until recently there was very little world history anyway since they barely interacted and knew little more than place names and whatever product was sourced from there.

Interesting you bring up that anecdote on trying to learn chinese vs english.

Whether Hangul makes it easier for people who don't know Korean to learn compared to the Chinese script is harder to measure.

Koreans still use Chinese to determine if two Kims are related or not and for place names, traditional poetry, and temples.

For highly literate natives, its a matter of opinion which is better.

In the case of teaching natives who already speak it to read and write, both the English Roman Alphabet and Korean Hangul are far superior to Chinese script.
