History cannot be written objectively

History is indeed written by the winners, and it will always be told from the winners' point of view. If the losers had won, history would be told a different way. The winners will always glorify their own victory in one way or another, and will interpret the losers' loss differently than if it had happened the other way around. Different cultures will also interpret events in different ways. One might see a victory as divine intervention, while the other might see it as a demonstration of the power of the winner. History cannot be written objectively for these reasons and more.
