Narratives can be a useful tool for rewriting true history. Allow me to explain? They can be a method used to promote a point of view by establishing a false foundation which may sound credible. An uninformed and uneducated person, when it comes to true history, is useful in conveying such narratives, especially if that person believes them to be factual.
The question one should be asking with relevance to narratives is why would certain groups or persons have a need to change historical facts? Unfortunately, this practice is useful in the advancement of false ideologies, which are unfounded and won't ever work, or have been proven to not work politically...etc. A perfect example of this would be communism! Ultimately, when one is able to obtain a majority, or more converts, who believe in said idealogy, the truth starts to fade away into oblivion, and in the end true history simply becomes unknown, especially if all evidence can be finally erased.
