According to a well-known adage, 'history is written by the victors'. How different do you think it would be if it were written by the losers instead?

"History is written by the victors"
This statement is mostly true, most of the History we learn is written by the victors. Lets take the I.B DP History HL at European School for an example, all the text books used in class on the World Wars + Treaties are mostly written by Americans or British. It would be really different if it was a loser who wrote those text books, it might show the other side of the story of the situation. A student cannot find the truth by only looking at one side of the story, the student has to look at both ends to pick out the truth. Obviously if only the losers would write history, they would describe the victors as evil (most likely). Therefore its very important to look at the story from both ends with equal value.
