History is always written by the winners of history. That's why when you read the history of any country, it looks like they were right from the beginning. Look at the J source in the Old Testament and you'll find that it is much more favorable in churches than the E source where the flood lasts for a year instead of 40 days and 40 nights. The P source sided with J. Had the Nazis won in WWII, the Nazi historians would've twisted historical events and treaties to draw a picture that Germany was defending itself all along. The Nazis could've won WWII and Hitler's great grandson would be ruling the world had the US not gotten involved when it did.
