History is scewed by each and every country. The only exception is probably 'former' west Germany.

I was never taught about the former white slave ships that enslaved thousands of Irish people or the blood on our hands when forming the British Empire.

History is important when we can learn valuable lessons from it.

America did protect the UK from German invasion, and just as importantly stopped a complete Russian/Soviet invasion of western Europe. America really did singularly save the world in WW2. that's a fact.
