"History is written by the victors", right?

Maybe it is an evolutionary mechanism to shed guilt. A society paralyzed by objective truth loses to one with a cohesive "we rock" narrative. You don't need to mass-murder the defeated to win the past; you simply need cultural exports strong enough to make the world accept your story as the closure humans crave.
