Now imagine a writeup of all Allied bombings and invasions during WWII that neatly omits all Axis actions before and during WWII, indeed omits the very existence of the Third Reich, implying that Germany and all its conquered territories were inhabited by meek and inoffensive peasants, and you will get very much the same sort of "history" as you have presented here.

You would for example have an entry

1945 - 46 Over 3 Million Sudeten Germans were uprooted from their homes and land, and forced to live in refugee camps on Czechoslovakia's borders. They have been denied the right to return to their homes. They have been refused compensation for their homes, orchards, farms and other property stolen from them by the Czech government. After their expulsion, the "Czech Forces" totally obliterated ...

Which was sure rough luck on them, and sounds extremely horrific, when removed from the context of the Third Reich, Munich 1938 and WWII.

The Sudeten Germans aren't going home again either, and the Europeans should have the sense to be careful about backing unrestricted "rights of return".
