here is my perspective about history which include the purpose of history and is history really true?

a history in simple manner could be showed just like the life of a man
with his good deed and glory would be boasted to generations  yet
the mistakes and lost were forgotten along the way, this is if the good
deed and glory by passes those mistakes, view and perspectives towards
those bad deeds could be turned around ito a different way, purposedly.

a story about the life of a man, has no difference with the history
of  nations and races, where  you could see  and read
about their  history  in  bookshops without 
realising its missing piece where most people assume event and
occurence happened accordingly to books.

as early as in ancient times, man has already battling each other,
fighting for their territories, wealth and influence. furthermore, in
war consequences are invetible, Victory or Defeated would be the
aftermath. where the Victor would be remembered in glory and the
defeated would disrememberred in the  race assimilation or in
genocide. few example could be draw upon this statement, The Trojan war
have resulted abolishment people of troy with only illiad as the
reference. from this point we can see that only the victor have the
right to write history in their way,in this case the Greek.

Through out the time we see similar example in First World War and
Second World War, where the purpose of the war and the catalyst of the
war is known in favour of the victor. for instance, in Second World War
when Germany in war with  USSR, started with German army
Blitzkrieg unprepared Soviet teritories. however, if we analysed could
it be possible, if Soviet attacked first since, war in two front was
Germany greatest fear. moreover, the war in west front with Britons
were unfinished, though communism was Hitler greatest enemy but to go
into a war with soviet would require extra man power and Britons on her
knees. 

in short, history is for the victorious and the rest remain unknown.
