History

Are we being taught “fake” stuff in history?  Explain.

I don’t think it’s necessary “fake” stuff that we learned in history.  I think that since there are so many different views on different things that happened in the past, we just have to pin point what actually happened from what was an exaggeration.  For example, let’s look at the beginning of the World War 1.  If you’re reading two different articles from two different view points on who to blame for the start of the war.  Out of the two reports, one being a German report and the other being a Britain, of course the Britain will bad mouthed the Germans and obviously blame the Germans for everything.  If you were to read the other report from a German’s perspective, the blame obviously goes to everyone.  

There is no “fake” stuff in history.  Everything that is written down is being researched thoroughly by many historians who backed up everything with facts and evidences that they found.  What are being taught to us, are work of many historians who had done tons and tons of researching to prove what they believe is truth.  It’s really up to you or me, to decide what to believe and what not to, base on what we know about the past of the topic.  We can either go with the studies of many historians or follow our gut feeling.
