rewrite history

I am an Asian History teacher and I am fascinated with the different history of the countries in Asia. They're colorful and interesting. I came from the Philippines and our history is mostly influenced by Spain since we were its colony for over 300 years. It's culture has basically become part of our own. We fought for our independence from 3 different colonizers... Spain, Japan and USA. But until now that we are already a free nation... we can't help that their power is still dominant in our culture, government, and economics. If you are given the chance, the power and possibility to rewrite the history of your country or any country that you are interested in... what part of it's history would you change... re-construct... or re-write to make it a better country?
