History is written by people who write history.

The perfect example of history not being written by the victors is the Lost Cause Mythology, which is still pervasive in the American South today despite being 180 years old.

Let's not also talk about the plethora of Polish works written during Poland's lost centuries where the country was partitioned and just didn't exist. Ukrainians have been writing their own histories despite Russia's overwhelming influence, and Byzantine and Sicilian literature still exist from the middle ages, despite Catholicism and Muslim conquerers.

Education is a provincially ran thing but federally funded and they have to maintain certain standards.
