Global history book
Historic events are often used as arguments for justifying modern
conflicts. Naturally all observers always see things as slightly
different, but there is more than that. Probably due to political
reasons, countries just don't often like to discuss certain chapters
of their history. For example Japan is not officially admitting the
full responsibility for biological warfare experiments on humans,
using Korean people as immigrated slaves and forcing about 200 000 of
Korean and Chinese women to prostitutes themselves to Japanese war
heroes during the WWII. Similarly Russia does not want to fully admit
the domestic horrors of Stalin's Soviet tyranny and terror caused by
soviets occupation of Baltic states. A more recent example of
falsifying the history is that USA doesn't want to admit the George W.
Bush's war crime ("crime against peace") leading to war in Iraq 2002 -
2003. Chinas darker chapters include at least Tiananmen Square, Tibet,
Falun Gong and the Great Leap forward. Most likely The Chinese
audience hasn't yet been able to read the true story about those.
Basically every single country is trying to hide certain parts of
their history, but it is important that mistakes are admitted, so that
they would not be done again. In a worst case the falsified history
may lead to other unnecessary wars. Global History Book is a project
which tries to describe the historic events from multiple points of
view. If the true opposite points of views are not available,
independent researchers are allowed to create those 'missing' historic
perspectives. The purpose of Global History book is not to prove any
point of view wrong, but to allow more perspectives into explaining
the past.
