I wasnt suggesting you should read from your neighbours - i'm sorry if i didnt express myself correctly - i just wanted to say that each nation writes their own history books and in the process some things geta spin.

- furthermore most things taken as historical fact are are due to more than one account and proof from different sources.

I'm sorry i still think u didnt get my point. Lets take the Hundred Years War - are both the french and the british accounts and attitude towards the events is identical in classroom books ? can you trust your state authority to give you the right information without proof or bias ?

i apologize as i realise this is somewhat offtopic also apologize if i'm not making much sense - i like this thread a lot somehow :) but i'm gonna stop writing in it so as to not seem inflamatory + i have a feeling that my english sux :)
