History is not always written by the victors—it's written by those who control the narrative, preserve records, and have the means to spread their version.Victors often dominate the first draft, but suppressed voices, archaeological evidence, defeated-side accounts, and later revisions frequently challenge and rewrite the "official" story. Many "loser" perspectives (Jewish accounts under Rome, Vietnamese chronicles during Chinese domination, indigenous records after colonization) eventually surface and reshape historical understanding.Truth tends to leak through the cracks over time.https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/history-written-victors https://aeon.co/essays/the-victors-write-history-but-not-for-ever https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33382213
