Since history IS invariably written by interested parties and is infinately biased in favour of the victor I would say there is no such thing as historic fact.
In modern day we have become more informed as a populace however I still believe my (and your) goverment lie and cover up their mistakes as best they can. Corruption of the truth is almost mandatory for politicians.
History is also objective and written from the perspective of a few and we all know it's difficult for people to agree, anyone who has collected eye witness statements from a traffic accident will soon discover the disparities between different peoples versions of events.

History class is a joke .
