Although what you say is true to an extent, Halx, I don't think it's as far-reaching as it comes off in your post. There may be certain things, when relations were much more provincial, where this kind of issue would arise, but it would be much more difficult to fabricate this kind of thing in the past couple hunrded years. After all, most things of any large importance have many witnesses, whether they be other countries, delegates, soldiers, etc. and you can't just lie about something in that happened in front of a large number of witnesses and expect people to believe you. History may be biased in favour of the victors, but I doubt that it's biased enough so as not to be trusted at all. The application of some skepticism and logic can make any historical viewpoints accessible.
