People won't admit that because the winning side writes histor.
... NO, this is evident from Tacitus to (whoever wrote today), and the biases of Tacitus are not those exhibited by historians or historian x
or the Early Yuan writings of the Yuan history (aka. the Chinese didn't like the Mongols).
or most of history in general. you'd be laughed at by any and all historians of all times.
or whichever historical sources one familiarises oneself in
you've got no idea of how history is to be interpreted whatsoever, deal with it. and as i've said before - you'd do us all a favour if you'd stop pretending that you have the slightest clue of how history is read and understood.

American firebombings were on a holocaust level of war crime but few consider the magnitude of the crime.
from a purely juridic view of the law, discounting the whole god damn "genocide"-aspect of the holocaust.
no, they were not anywhere close to the holocaust level of a warcrime. if you're to approach war crimes via a convention-based basis, the Hague convention allowed aerial bombardment of civilian population btw, which post-WW2 disallowed.
if performed today many of the bombings by allies would be war crimes, yes, but this was wholly before such an understanding of them. the fact that they were not convicted is has to do with the fact that what they did wasn't illegal to do at all.
care to relate to us what the "bombings of London" were? or what "Concentration camps" were?
how about Dresden's status and what importance it held as a city though?
why did you not tell us of the German bombings btw? was it your ideology or what?
i mean, wtf is your problem, do you even bloody fucking god damn understand what the holocaust is? your ridiculous and altogether god damn fucking retarded views of history have been shown idiotic before, but here you are really being an total,full-blown idiot altogether.

It's all but certain the Kosovars were slaughtering Serbs and harvesting their organs to sell on the black market but since Kosovo was the "ally" those crimes weren't pursued.
you're all but certain that your modern stereotypes influenced by Kosovar organised crime organ trade (it is a problem among organised crime) had to do with the problems of the time (i.e. fullblown god damn war). seems like the victors don't write the history.
imo it's a sort of a propaganda to tarnish the Kosovar fighters against Serb aggression.
