You don't even need to look at historical events. The conflicts today are all surrounded by attempts to control the historical narrative. Is Syria a fight of justice against a brutal dictatorship or a attempt by pro-American forces to destabilize a country not under their control? Is Israel vs Palestine a story of the success of a people to build and hold their nation after centuries of humiliation or the story of one of the last remaining examples of real colonialism? Is China's attempts to gain the South China Sea an act of imperialism or is it a powerful nation reclaiming territory taken from it after decades of plundering by Western forces?

I'm sure the history books of the future will be vastly different from the consensus of the threads in Reddit depending on how they all end.
