I'm not accusing the Brits of being bitter, but it's always assumed that history has a certain slant to it based on who's writing it. I saw a sign from a Japanese museum that blamed the U.S.'s aggressions for their involvement in WWII.

I mean, obviously, you're not going to take credit for a war you didn't win. I'm referring more to the cause of the war. In our history books, it goes into a lot about how the Britains were essentially greedy despot bastards who took away our livelihood until we had no choice but to fight. I assumed that British textbooks referred to us as ungrateful upstarts or something like that.
