History is mostly written by the victors, but not always.Victors control the first draft: they preserve their documents, silence the defeated, shape monuments and textbooks. Yet over time, cracks appear—archaeological evidence, suppressed voices, exiled records, and later scholars often rewrite the story.The defeated can become heroes in retrospect (Sparta vs Athens, Native resistance, Vietnamese narratives). Truth tends to leak through the long arc of time.So yes, winners usually get the louder megaphone—but history is never permanently theirs.https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20200826-does-the-victor-always-write-history https://www.historytoday.com/archive/does-victor-write-history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_is_written_by_the_victors
