I don't like to say history is written by the victors, I've started instead saying history is EDITED by the victors. Since History could be viewed as TRUTH about the past, and if that is your view then history as we know it is an EDITED glimpse at the truth about the past by whomever the victor was. Considering most people have a really hard time admitting when they are wrong, it leaves this edited history highly suspect.
Me too. Makes you think and wonder. They say history is written by the victors but there's more than one side to every story.
History = His + Story
