Ok, I don't know what the fuck is up with the CO3 thing, so I'm not going to even comment.

But...HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU THINK THAT JAPAN NUKED THE US? The only use of nukes against humans in history and you fuck up who did what to who? HOW?
Some people need to be beaten with a smart stick.

It seems to me the errors in the book were probably just stupid mistakes.  It would have helped if an adult had read the material before sending it to press.  None the less, they are glaring to say the least.

Ah yes, the nuking of Pearl Harbor on September 11th, 1941. A day that shall live in infamy.

For a long time in Mongolia it was taught that Japan and the US went to war with each other when the US attacked Japan at Pearl Harbor.

Anyone who tried to say it was the other way around was accused of practicing revisionist history.

I met a professor who was visiting Purdue back in 1996. He taught history at Moscow U. I casually asked him if the maps in an atlas of WWII with me were accurate. He check the Eastern Front maps and was a bit confused. But when he checked the other maps he was simply amazed. He said none of that had been taught in Russia. The Western Allies' contribution, as taught, was most Lend-Lease. D-Day was a large raid. The Pacific War consisted of the Red Army defeating Japan.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Holy Shit!  It makes me wonder how much of an illusion we all live under.  I can understand why India might not know who nuked who.  Their attention would probably be on other things besides that.  But the Russian perspective on WWII, given their intense, and I mean INTENSE involvement is comical.  D Day was kind of a big deal to us.  The siege of Leningrad was no doubt bigger deal for them, while it's just something we learn about here almost in passing.

I sometimes wonder if any of what we're taught as history is factual.  Some of it has to be true..right?
