Faked conquests?
What are your examples of faked conquests? Conquests that were denied, conquests that were invented by propaganda but never took place, defeats that were successfully presented as victories, and wars that were moved in time by propaganda and similar?
One interesting theory I heard recently was that the roman invasion of Britain took place before a few decades before it was officially claimed to have taken place. Apparently there was pretty solid archaeological evidence. Unfortunately I lost the source for this...
Have you got any other interesting examples of wars that were denied, invented, or altered due to propaganda, and successfully made their average citizens and/or historians believe for a very long time that what the propaganda said was true?
