Its buried. One of the days I've been genuinely angry (I try not to be) was when I visited the Shanghai Museum (I think its just called that) and found soooo much history omitted. It had a huge section presenting a timeline from the British to ww2, and it basically lied about all of it. No mention of the Boxer Rebellion and how that caused the British to take action, nor how the empress invited them initially to help but then turned on them to appease the Boxers, which was the catalyst for them burning the winter palace - the Winter Palace was basically like Versailles in the sense that the monarch spent so much on it that it impoverished people and caused the rebellion. Then they omitted the alliance between the Republic of China, which in the time of ww2 was all of China, and the US, and how the Republic forces fought the Japanese while the communist forces his and then backstabbed the Republic after it was weakened from the battle of Nanjing. Then also not a single mention of Doolittle's Raiders, who crashed in China and were helped by Chinese people.

I love history. I also really like China. That museum pissed me off. Fucking liars.
