In addition to this, nobody ever seems to talk about British responsibility for the creation of some of today's major conflicts, such as:
- Kashmir, where nuclear powers India and Pakistan have been close to war;
- Israel/Palestine, which poisons the whole world.
The only one I ever heard pointing this out in Britain was a comedian, and the audience was laughing heartily. (Sorry don't remember who it was.)
But it is really a newspaper conspiracy, as the story claims? My impression is that World War II outshines the whole rest of British history. The British are incredibly proud that they stood up to the Nazis, and who can deny they were on the good side in a huge and unusually clear case of "good against evil".
Please, leave unnecessary comments like this to reddit. There are many things that transcend politics. Acknowledging the atrocities of humanity is certainly one of them.
