History that was banned from being taught in schools
the date…
Not only what happened,
but also what we were allowed to know…
and what was deliberately withheld from us.
From our childhood, we sat in classrooms,
opened history books,
and memorized dates, names, and victories…
But no one has ever asked us:
Who wrote this history?
Why were these particular events chosen?
And why did other events disappear completely?
This film is not about retelling history...
but about revealing the history that was banned from being taught in schools .
If future generations knew this history as it truly is,
their understanding of the world would change…
and manipulating them would no longer be so easy.
The genocides that were called discoveries
When schools teach you what is called
"Discovering the New World"
doesn't tell you the whole truth.
Before the arrival of Europeans in the Americas,
the continent was teeming with life…
Civilizations,
cities,
libraries,
advanced agricultural systems.
The original population numbered
between 80 and 100 million people .
But in less than a century…
More than 90% of them disappeared.
Not by chance…
but because of:
organized massacres
Forced displacement
Spreading diseases intentionally
Destruction of food sources
Entire civilizations such as:
Aztec
Maya
Inca
Not only was it defeated…
but it was erased from memory .
In textbooks:
"The explorers have arrived… and a new era has begun."
But the truth is:
The invaders arrived… and the greatest genocide in human history began.
Colonialism when plunder became official policy
colonization…
A word presented in curricula as a "historical stage".
But in reality, it was:
Global looting project
Based on the humiliation of peoples
and destroying its economy
And distorting its identity
India is an example:
Before British colonization:
India was one of the world's largest economies.
After the occupation:
Destruction of local industries
Imposing crippling taxes
Food processing for export
Bengal famine of 1943
More than 3 million dead
The food was there…
But the poor were not allowed to obtain it.
In books?
"Famine due to wartime conditions"
In reality?
A fully-fledged economic crime.
Africa… the continent that did not impoverish itself
When asked:
"Why is Africa poor?"
No one will tell you the whole truth.
Belgian Congo:
It was not a colony…
but the private property of one king .
amputating workers' hands
Killing children
burning villages
Looting of rubber and minerals
The victims?
In the millions.
But in the curricula:
"A short colonial period"
As for Algeria:
More than a century of occupation
Genocide, torture, displacement
Land and identity theft
All of this is
either absent, diluted, or distorted.
Islamic history that was not taught
When Islamic conquests are mentioned,
It is often abbreviated to one word:
Wars
But what is not taught:
Written covenants
Protecting places of worship
Survival of languages and cultures
coexistence that lasted for centuries
If the goal was extermination…
no peoples or civilizations would remain.
Then Islamic civilization…
Science,
medicine,
astronomy,
mathematics.
Names such as:
Ibn al-Haytham
Al-Khwarizmi
Ibn al-Nafis
It was the foundation of the European Renaissance…
But they disappeared from the curricula.
When man became a guinea pig
In the twentieth century…
Scientific progress has not always been humane.
Experiments:
radioactive
Biology
Psychological
It was performed on:
prisoners
poor
minorities
Occupied peoples
Without their knowledge…
and without their consent…
But these pages…
are rarely taught.
Why are the real heroes being deleted?
The real heroes…
They are not always in the books.
Because they:
They exposed the injustice
Resist colonialism
Awaken consciousness
Therefore:
Their image was distorted
Or they disappeared completely
Because their presence...
means that change is possible.
The history that was banned from being taught…
Not just old events.
It is key to understanding:
Current wars
conflicts
Injustice
Who controls… and who pays the price?
Knowing this history...
is not hatred,
but awareness.
That's why...
they didn't want us to know.
