   Part of the blame for Americans' "historical inaccuracies" can go to   
   Hollyweird. Just look at the World War I and II movies they make where   
   'America saves the day' even when Americans weren't actually in the   
   events portrayed (other than perhaps a few voluteers). The Disney   
   enforced fallacy of lemmings throwing themselves off cliffs is another   
   example.
