Good point, Don, and a good example to illustrate the point. The American
Civil War is an example of the conqueror writing history and it taking more
than
150 years to get people to examine the actual happenstances of conflict.
Then as now, no difference, you have to have some excuse to invade another
people
even if you have to make up that excuse after the fact.
