Can history be objective? Exploring biases and perspectives in historical writing

Описание: "History is a set of lies we all agree to believe." But what if Napoleon was right?

In this video, we explore the uncomfortable truth behind historical objectivity. From the myth of writing history “as it actually happened” to the way narratives are used to justify wars and national myths, this essay examines how power shapes the past—and how historians try to fight back.

We’ll ask:
📜 Can we trust historical sources?
⚔️ Why is history so often used to legitimize conquest and territory?
🔍 Is there still a way to approach the past critically and honestly?

If you've ever questioned a school textbook, a national holiday, or a political speech, this video is for you.
