Revisionist history
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Revisionist history carries both positive and negative connotations. Each has its own entry.
- Historical revisionism, the reinterpretation of orthodox views on evidence, motivations, and decision-making processes surrounding a historical event
- Historical revisionism (negationism), either the legitimate scholastic re-examination of existing knowledge about an historical event, or the distortion of the historical record such that certain events appear in a more or less favourable light or alternatively in a particularly bad light
