How do teachers teach about the wars their country lost?

Question

I am an American, and although my country has had a few wars in which there was no clear winner (War of 1812, Vietnam), we have had no wars in which we admitted defeat. How do teachers in other countries teach about wars that country has lost? Are the reasons examined, the causes and effects, or due to nationalistic tendencies, are these wars not focused on? Is more attention paid to the wars a country won rather than the wars a country lost? I would love to hear from a German person here, but any others would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

They give the politically correct venison. and they tend to brush over the loss. They say we withdrew. The word loss does not get mentioned.

Answer 2

OK first off Canada (at the time it was only British Colonies, so technically it was the British Army) won the War of 1812. But mostly (at least teachers I have had) teach that we fought hard and bravely, we lost so many pour brave souls, and we lost, but we lost.
but then again, all the wars my country has been in has either been against the States with backing of the British Army (and the only one being the war of 1812) and all the other wars we've sided with the States, so I don't really know.

Answer 3

Yeah, while we found out approximately it, we've been taught approximately how Britain became tyrannical and brutal. Its very properly to instruct British people approximately how we was once, by way of fact we're not to any extent further and that i do no longer help the styles of issues that the British did all those centuries in the past. Its the comparable as while we are taught approximately slavery. we are advised approximately how British and American people have been brutal to slaves and the circumstances we made them go through in. i'm beneficial you have been too, precise? all of us recognize what our us of a did centuries in the past, and all of us recognize have been in a manner the undesirable adult males, and it wasn't in simple terms usa. We sailed world huge claiming land contained in the call of the British Empire, and if the folk there did no longer like it, then we would butcher them, and IMO that is plenty worse that what all started the progressive conflict. And we additionally made the folk there convert to Christianity, why do you think of there is two billion Christians contained in the international? by way of fact its been exceeded down technology to technology over 3 centuries, in each and all of the international locations that we went to and extra it to.
