Historians write history that is popular where they are writing it by politics or whom they plan to sell it to make their living. Hence two version of our Civil War depending on whether writen in the North or South.

World War Two, depending on which ncountry you reading about it in. When I was learning about the war they never quite mentioned how without Russia attacking the Germans on a second front and also the Russian winter, Hitler might have won the War. They killed more Germqan soldiers than we did.

Having Russia as an ally set them up to take over Eastern Europe, which we and Western Europe did not consider Eastern Europian countries to be part of be real Europeans. Check our treatment immigrants from those eastern countries, or of Jews trying to excape Hitler.

Nothing new about false intepertations of history, the Egyptians carved in stone of winning battles with invaders that they actually lost, that later discovery of battle remains by archeologists would find in more recent times.

History is always partial depending on whom the historians decide to write about and whom they decide to leave out. True now and in the ancient past.

It is the reason I am so interested in learning bout people school never taught me about. The dark side of history for the poor, the workers, the immigrants, the Natives, Black people and others, the majority of the people in our past lived in, means more to me than the history of the rich and powerful that benefited from the same history while often creating the misery everyone else lived through.

If we taught the lives of more ordinary people, our children might learn how to surive the rougher times that that they may have to face, which of course is why they are not taught,least they become more successful survivors. That would endanger the more powerful people.
