Is that why WW1 is generally pretty unbiased? Nobody actually fucking won in that war. We must replicate this across all wars for reasons of historical posterity.
Turks in practice won. They lost parts of their empire they would be unable to control for long anyway. They murdered everyone they didn’t like in the parts they liked and had their sovereignty over those recognized by “civilized” countries. And the world after that war made them useful for everyone else.
Japan, well, wasn’t too happy with its share in the outcome of WWI, but clearly won.
Nobody believes they’re on the wrong side of history. But after all, history is written by the victors.
