They might be lying

   We can see history almost everywhere, such as in street

names, old buildings, etc. It is very important to learn about history, first of all, because it is necessary to not commit the same mistakes as in the past, secondly, because it is necessary to know about general culture. However, it is sometimes difficult to know wether the information is true or false. 

   Everybody knows that the internet is full of false information, therefore you must check in different web sites to assure yourself the information is the same in most of them so that you know which one is right; but how can I be a 100% sure it is right? Many peoples answers would be to look at official records. However, what does really assure me that the evidence of the success was not manipulated?

   Politicians sometimes interpret history to their own advantage. They manipulate the information and let us know just what they want. Moreover, “history” varies many times depending on the point of view of the country that narrates it, since they would set themselves as the heroes/victims and would omit the bad aspects of their country. 

   To conclude, it is really difficult to know what the real history of something was, mostly because we tend to fully trust the evidence without thinking that even official records may lie. Therefore, I believe that when we study history, we should look at it from all the possible angles and reach our own conclusion, instead of just reading a book written and approved by the USA.
