History is written by the "victor". This doesn't necessarily mean facts are written in or out - though that does happen - it primarily goes to the issue of what perspective the facts are viewed in.

WW2 is a perfect example. Many point to the end of WW1 as sowing the seeds of WW2. In some ways it did. But to claim the Versaille treaty was "THE" cause of the war negates a big picture view. Japan is viewed as imperialistic and aggressive - and in many ways this was accurate. To dismiss the policies of the US however does remove valid factors from the equation.

No singular perspective of history, especially the history of a major conflict, is going to be entirely accurate. The wise scholar realizes this, and weighs the various factors in detail. This does mean that one opinion can be vastly different from the next when learned men discuss such topics, but to call a historical perspective "revisionism" can only be accurate if it intenionally denies / skips over relevant, documented facts.
