Its why all historical info is slanted heavily for the victors and a particular point of view.

I agree with that but only to a point. It seems fairly clear from what my teachers told me that the Allies are taking responsibility for forcing Germany into the Treaty of Versailles... Great Britain also realizes it should have done something to stop Hitler before he got out of control, and the US agrees they probably could have stepped in earlier.
So while it's true that the victors wrote that history, they didn't forget to learn lessons from it.
