"History is the lie commonly agreed upon." What did Voltaire mean by this quote?
What i think Voltarie was trying to say was that how we as people seem to agree on things that we were taught before and keep teaching other people what we know from our understanding. But what we do not know is that many of the historical events on how the United States puts it as "we never loose" are lies the United States has failed several times and surrendered . And not only that but in addition there are many events never mentioned in textbooks that we use in school . So it isn't fair how we only get to hear one side of the story and what ever they want us to hear and not hear what really happen.
