	What is at stake in Australia's "History Wars" Part 1: Competing political agendas
		The History Wars began in the early 1980s, flaring up on such occasions as the 200th anniversary of British settlement of Australia in 1988 and the centenary of the federation of the six colonies in 2001.
		History, therefore, is always being rewritten, as outlooks and methods change due to changes in the political environment.
		To reveal the underlying conflicts that have given rise to the History Wars, the origins of each tendency and the competing national agendas they represent, we must examine some of the central features of the establishment of the Australian nation-state and its subsequent evolution.

	Evatt Foundation: News: The history wars - 09 September 2003
		History is not revealed to us in tablets of stone, it has to be created from the remains of the past.
		The History Wars are conducted in the media and subject to the procedures of the media.
		The History Wars are an international phenomenon, operating in many countries, and in each theatre the warriors take their own nation as unique in its virtue, while adopting the techniques of their counterparts elsewhere.

	France’s history wars, by Chris J Bickerton
		Challenging conventional wisdom and official histories is all to the good; it is the occupation of all radical historians.
		This shift from history to memory was at first the work of historians and the state, and reflected an attempt to salvage French history from its critics and from the effects of the end of consensus.
		History is concerned not with remembering, but with establishing these very facts: its purpose is the pursuit of knowledge.

	Vicki Grieves \| Windschuttle's Fabrication of Aboriginal History : a View from the Other Side \| Labour History, 85 \| ...
		The responsibility attached to the writing of Indigenous Australians' histories is immense: no other history has the potential to impact on the present and the future and excite contention and debate to such a high degree.
		As Denholm argued in 1979 from the cusp of the wave of new histories of Indigenous Australians, 'that brutality, (of the Georgian English) was simply to occupy Australia'.
		The ultimate gain for all of us is that Windschuttle's fabrication of history has served to galvanise historians into a defence of their craft and of the scholarship to date.

	Trade Wars 2002 History
		I continued to develop and support Trade Wars because it was an excellent example of a public server game, because of its history and staying power, and because it put me in touch with other game developers.
		Trade Wars as a game has its roots very far back in the history of online gaming, yet unlike most games, it continues to be played in a form very close to its origins.
		And Trade Wars 2002, though not the originator, is clearly the most successful of the Trade Wars variants.

	KJ: 10,000 Things - History Wars in Japan:
		The parallels between the history wars between Japan's neoconservative politicians and progressive and grassroots Japanese and American neoconservative politicians and progressive and grassroots Americans is astoundingly similar, as well as those in other nations.
		The common denominator comes down to the conflict between those who seek to impose their party line authoritarian versions of history that glorify the state, and those who support critical histories that encourage multiple perspectives and multiple voices in ongoing debate and dialogue.
		These activists are stopping the erasures of history before the erasures can happen, by amplifying authentic voices and passing down truthful, personal stories to the next generation now.

	Civil wars
		A civil war is a war in which parties within the same country or empire struggle for national control of state power.
		Other historians state the criteria for a civil war is that there must be prolonged violence between organized factions or defined regions of a country (conventionally fought or not).
		One contributing factor is that civil wars often become proxy wars for outside powers that fund their partisans and thus encourage further violence.

	History wars come to Brisbane at Larvatus Prodeo
		To see history as a string of events puts things in a temporal perspective for kids (which is important), but kids should also develop an appreciation for ways of conceiving causality, of understanding the importance of perspective, and of relating recurring themes in history to our own contemporary condition.
		The objective of history is not to better understanding of the truth of the past, but to sustain and orient individuals and communities in the present.
		History constitutes the body of variant (inluding both contemporary and contemporaneous) meanings read into the connections between chronological incidences and geographical separations.

	Beyond the history wars - Michelle Grattan - Opinion - theage.com.au
		The list attempts to move beyond the "history wars"; Bishop describes participants as from the "sensible centre" (defined by one wit as those of differing views who can sit in the same room without trying to kill each other).
		Nevertheless, the "history wars" are still in the background: Bishop recently wrote in The Australian that in history teaching there was "too much political bias and not enough pivotal facts and dates".
		NSW made Australian history compulsory in years 9 and 10, and required children in public and private schools to take an objective, statewide examination at the end of year 10.

	Teaching World History & Geography - The Chronological Narrative
		When people think back to their history classes in school, one of the first things likely to come to mind is a chronological narrative, the textbook.
		A world history textbook is a chronological historical narrative that attempts to provide a broad overview of history typically beginning with the emergence of humans or the advent of civilization and ending at the present time.
		The National History Standards suffer from a grandiosity that may be a consequence of the multitude of contributors involved in the project, some 400 people from 33 organizations distributed among 20 boards, committees, panels, forums, task forces, and focus groups.

	Lateline - 25/04/2006: History wars surround Kokoda campaign
		I mean, the problem you've got is there are people still alive who watched their mates die and they genuinely believed they were fighting to save Australia and you're telling them essentially they weren't.
		History is about perceiving events as much as it is about events.
		We have to remember that this was a world war and when we talk about the battle that saved Australia, we're sort of putting these parochial blinkers on and seeing the centre of the war's gravity in New Guinea.

	History Wars and the Paparazzi
		Official history as narrated in Israeli textbooks was radically revised in 1999 and many common beliefs about the early years of the Jewish state were "exposed as myth" and images of the "Arab enemy" were significantly softened.
		Certainly the "rewriting of history" is not unique to India, "history battles" are being waged from Israel and Palestine to the Balkans and the countries of the former Soviet Block.

	The History Wars \| Journal of Social History \| Find Articles at BNET.com
		What distinguishes the Australian history wars from counterparts elsewhere is not duration or even the levels of acrimony, but the sheer variety of issues, ranging from immigration policy, the 1988 Bicentenary celebrations, indigenous rights and the representation of Aboriginal history, through to school history syllabi and museum display policy.
		That is to say, the opposite sides of the Australia history wars are divided into opposing camps comprising left wing proponents of "fl-armband" history, who depict the Australian past as a deplorable tale of dispossession, and the conservative and neoconservative exponents of "whitewash" history, who exalt British origins and the achievements of white ancestors.
		The History Wars is thoroughly commended to all interested in the widespread phenomena of Historikerstreit.

	The other history wars
		Gibbon, like most classical historians before and after him, shares a conception and practice of history as a “patrician literary genre”, a vehicle for an elitist view of history as the “monumental deeds of great personages” in which ordinary men are merely “nameless spear-carriers” and women not even that.
		It is historians like this, from and for the ruling class, who have monopolised the recorded history of antiquity in which the rich rule because they should, and when the exploited mobilise against class injustice, they become “the mob” — fickle, lawless and given to unreasoning passions.
		Through such ruling-class history, the Roman oligarchs and their senate come down to us as defenders of people's liberty instead of the defenders of elite interests that they were.
