For me, that the Cold War began with the US wanting to stop Stalin's plans of imposing communism on the world. Did anybody else's curriculum portray Trotsky in a positive light? lmao it's funny to imagine the weirdos who write those textbooks were trots.

      To be fair, the Bohr model is helpful for understanding orbital mechanics if you have no experience with them - def a lot easier to conceptualize and visualize than the different shells

        Well for starters, the whole roses thing was made up. The Tudor flag was a dragon and the Lancaster flag was a boar's head. The roses were written in after the fact by people like Shakespeare.

        Henry VII actually had no connection to Wales and the castle he was allegedly born in wasn't built 'till after he died.

        Most of the story given in classrooms about the whole war comes from writing done later as an attempt to create the concept of a joint British identity during the war(s) against the Spanish.
