d. According to a well-known adage, 'history is written by the victors'.  How different do you think it would be if it were written by the losers instead?


  I´ve never really understood why would people criticise history by saying "history is written by the victors". Yes, it is a subject were you are confronted by the stories of people who made an impact on the world, but it is hard, if not impossible,  to make an impact on a continent/country/group of poeple if you do not suceed on your purpose. If history were to be written by the losers, it would have no cultural, economical, political nor geographical relevance,  therefore creating a subject that can only be studied (with productive purposes) through the eyes of a sociologist or a psychologist trying to decipher the reasons behind why wasnt it succesful.
