You have to understand the rationale behind the narrative. If you’re describing a period of 50 years of history, which had 49 years of peace, and 1 year of war, but you’re only focusing on the war. You’re not lying, but are you telling the truth?

And there might be a good justification, in the sense that maybe a lot of sudden changes happened during this period, but you’re still leaving a lot aside.

This view of history although it might present itself as the truth because it’s the status quo, it’s a narrative as it the ones who might succeed it. And you might not like it, but also had, has and will have political implications.
