Historical revisionism

Historical revisionism involves either the illegitimate distortion of the historical record or a careful and more objective re-examination of the historical data about a historical event or events.
Those who engage in denialism often pose as historical revisionists in order to cloak their motivations.
A term for engaging in denialism when reporting false histories is the term historical negationism. For example, Holocaust deniers engage in historical negationism.
