Mariko Oi writes, 'Japanese people often fail to understand why neighbouring countries harbour a grudge over events that happened in the 1930s and 40s. The reason, in many cases, is that they barely learned any 20th Century history. I myself only got a full picture when I left Japan and went to school in Australia.'

A US history teacher is suspended for comparing the rise to power of Hitler and Trump. “This feels like we’re trying to squash free speech,” he said. “Everything I talk about is factually based. They can go and check it out. “It’s not propaganda or bias if it’s based on hard facts.”

Benjamin West’s painting The Death of General Wolfe (shown above) was the popular hit of the Royal Academy’s summer exhibition of 1771. The actor David Garrick delighted exhibition-goers one morning by posing in front of West’s picture and enacting his view of how the general died.

'The flurry of programmes on television, the rise of the celebrity-historian, the books at the top of the bestseller lists… all demonstrate that history has never been so popular. But our present-day history boom has its roots in the 18th century. As one of the star historians of the period, David Hume, joyfully proclaimed in 1770: “This is the historical age and this the historical nation.”'

'"There are facts, there are opinions, and there are lies," says historian Deborah Lipstadt, telling the remarkable story of her research into Holocaust deniers — and their deliberate distortion of history. Lipstadt encourages us all to go on the offensive against those who assault the truth and facts. "Truth is not relative," she says.'

No Irish Need Apply. 'The fact of the famous discriminatory posters was called into question in 2002 by Professor Richard Jensen, then a Professor of History at the University of Illinois, and his theory gained credibility in the following years.'

'Neil MacGregor, the former director of the British Museum, has bemoaned Britain’s narrow view of its own history, calling it “dangerous and regrettable” for focusing almost exclusively on the “sunny side”.' Never been in my lessons, then.
