How can we possibly give California or any of the western states back to Mexico, when Mexico is the bastard child of the Spanish Empire and first, it needs to be given back to the native Indians?

Who, of course, will promptly stop speaking Mexican Spanish and renounce the Church of Spain in favor of their proper native gods again. (Ask any Castilian, Mexicans don't speak "Spanish" any more than Texans speak "English".)

How far back does who want to go?


In the US, Gallipolli was neatly dropped from the school books until fairly recently. No one wanted to be reminded that the "Allies" of WW2 could have screwed up so royally the first time around. In Churchill's writings he said the memory of it haunted him and drove some of his later decisions in WW2.
