Is this true?
>>18018088are losers unable to write books?
>>18018088Yes.
Lots of history was written by post WW2 UK even though they gained nothing from it and lost plenty, so no.
>>18018088No. History is written by nerds who bother compiling sources (many of them unreliable) and trying to piece together a coherent narrative rather than a useful one. The victors themselves are too high test to give a shit about what the nerds write down.>>18018101Not only that, much of what we know about the eastern front comes from German sources. Soviet sources were either heavily revised for propaganda purposes or lost entirely.
>>18018101I'm sure Churchill got a pat in the head by lord Rothchild and maybe a treat
>>18018090In a manner of speaking. Losers can add to the historical record, but it doesn't mean anyone will read it, believe it, or treat it as part of the historical narrative they are trying to construct. And it is the narrative that ultimately matters.
>>18018101UK were undeniably winners of that war. The fact that it was a very costly victory for them doesn't change that they sat on the same side of the table as the rest of the winners and had a hand in dictating terms of their surrender and organizing the new order afterward.
>>18018088Looking at the three kingdom period, not really. Luo Guanzhong was a big shu fanboy.
>>18018217I don't think that's true. Japan lost and was occupied and they still think they were the good side
>>18018088History is written by the survivors.Which favors the victors, but not to the complete exclusion of the defeated.
>Majority of our understanding of the Eastern Front comes from German sourcesWhat did they mean by this?
>>18018217>*laughs in History of the Peloponnesian War*
>>18018088true vae victiseven an old alcoholic profligate gambling alleged philanderer is right twice a day
>>18018428>Warrior ethos Sparta cooler and more badass than mercantile Athens>and this coming from Athenian sourcesoi m8 'avin a giggle innit?
>>18018088Hold on OP, let me look at my history book here...Oh, wow! It says right here that the good guys won every single time! What are the odds of that?
>>18018435>Yeah, those guys who beat us? Absolutely super human. Gods on the earth. No wonder we lost, it wasn't a fair fight.
>>18018449Thanks Norm *pounds floor* you OK down there? Hot enough for ya?
>>18018465kek the Romans did it too in their sources but they were usually (almost always) the beaters My point still stands. Sparta won the Peloponnesian War and our hearts
>>18018474Sparta won? And yet wrote no histories. Curious!
>>18018477>wrotedvmb fvck that's the main reason they wonThe Spartans only wrote with the blood of their enemies
Anything Basedchill has said is automatically true.
>>18018090They can but victors can censor them and propagate their version
False as of today both the far right and the far left hate Churchill
>>18019499which books are censored?
>>18019679David Irvings
>>18019880why are you lying? you can literally buy all of them
>>18019880Irving is British.
history is written by people who write stuff
>Sir Henry Edouard Strakosch (9 May 1871 – 30 October 1943) was an Austrian-born British banker and businessman. >Strakosch was born to an Austrian family with Jewish ancestry.>Files declassified in the 2000s showed that Strakosch provided large financial gifts to Churchill in 1938 and 1940, which enabled Churchill to pay off his vast debts and to withdraw his Kent home Chartwell from sale at a time of severe financial pressures.Churchill is the biggest fraud in history
>>18018090Dear american person. Smoldering corpses cannot write books.
>>18018088It's a statement that ages worse the freer information gets. Maybe back in the day where most public information was given by the state.Whenever people bitch about history being written by the victors, they really mean public perception, which changes all the time.
>>18020111>the losers always dieAre you 6 years old?
>>18020086>No citation that he was JewishThe fucking state of you cunts
>>18018088
>>18018090You can write one, but it will never be taught in schools or discussed in talk shows, and no one will make a film out of it.Meaning that only a few devoted nerds will ever know what it says
>>18021006This is why none has ever made a movie about Thermopylae after all.
>>18018217Yeah so everyone will believe that the Holocaust was worse than what's currently happening in Gaza. Even 6 million kikes are fewer than the Muslim population in all these territories claimed by "Greater Israel" and Hamas was a false flag just like 9/11 that saved the Bush presidency it's no wonder that Charlie Kirk was murdered on the exact same date at the beginning of Trump's 2nd NON-CONSECUTIVE term it's obvious that both Republicans should've been forced to resign through impeachment proceedings like Nixon but only those who criticize Epstein's demon cult get that treatment not even the world's biggest pedophile Bill Clinton
>>18019885>>18019909Irving for citing Nazi sources had his works censored.That’s censorship.>>18021020They never make it from the Persian perspective because Persia lost the war for Greece.
>>18021409How the fuck did Irving have his work censored?
>History is written by the victorsOh yeah? Then why is the fall of Rome universally portrayed as a great tragedy in all accounts? The Germanic barbarians were the victors; why didn't they re-write history?Why is the sack of Constantinople during the 4th crusade seen as a tragedy if the crusaders were the victorious ones?Why are people like Churchill and George Washington, victorious in their time, now demonized as genocidal white supremacists?
