@gorillapaws Hey the Olive Branch Petition was a lovely letter. Don’t get why they got so upset after that. LOL, But truly, I was thinking about how everyone sees wars through the eyes of the people at the time, but is it truly accurate? There will be things disputed but that are based on facts. Battles for instance. But motivations and reasons are a different animal.
I was discussing with a Trumper today who blames what is happening in Ukraine on Biden. I believe no president, even Trump would be responsible for a War Putin always wanted. This person believes Trump would’ve stopped it. No. Because this didn’t come about overnight. This was coming since Crimea was taken.
My point is that in our future history there will be one set in the history books that will blame the US and others that will blame Ukraine and others that will blame Russia. No one will dispute how the war began and how it all ends. But why it began will be something historians will have different opinions on.
So it got me wondering about our own wars. Everyone has their side of the story and how they see it and I never thought about if Englands version is different from ours.
