I believe I was taught to use two spaces between sentences in High School typing class in the 1970's (USA). Many years later, I still use two spaces from habit.
The amount of space used between sentences has a long and complicated history:

"James Felici, author of the Complete Manual of Typography, says that the topic of sentence spacing is "the debate that refuses to die ... In all my years of writing about type, it's still the question I hear most often, and a search of the web will find threads galore on the subject." This subject is still widely debated today."
