History has been described as, "An account, mostly false, of events, mostly unimportant, brought about by rulers mostly knaves and soldiers mostly fools." That's probably a little harsh, but no history can be without interpretation. Sometimes the interpretations have trivial disagreements, but often "history" is a form of Propaganda for a cause, so it takes study and comparison to know what to trust.
