Along the same lines, different groups will have different vested interests in the outcomes of certain historical conflicts. So they will attribute different motivations to the main players than others from different positions. It wouldn't be difficult to find statements or writings of individuals to support any number of different motivations that they might have had. Also, some events may be glossed over, forgotten, or intentionally 'hidden' in order to support what a person really believes to be the true interpretation. Other groups will bring those same things to the forefront, and will gloss over the things considered important by the first group. It is very, very difficult to get history 'straight' and to interpret it objectively, if it is even possible.
