It's too risky. For example when different countries have got different points of view about a past conflict. Do you remember the movie "300" about the battle of the Thermopylae? It may be enough politicall correct for us, but then Erdogan, the Turkysh president, was really angry with this movie. A story about the Spanish Reconquest could show the Muslim like the civilitation with a higher culture, but others could tell a story about the fitna of al-Andalus, a civil war among Muslims what caused the end of the Omeya dinasty and the kindgom broken into taifas. Or the Napoleonic Wars. If the storyteller is French then Napoleon is a hero, but if he isn't then Frenchs are the evil empire.</p></blockquote><p></p>
