What next? Are we going to start teaching that the Holocaust was good for Jews, since they got Israel afterwards? The Trail of Tears was good for indigenous people because think of all that prime reservation land they were just given! The Rape of Nanking was good for China, just look at how strong they are now! Dropping nukes on Japan actually helped them to start creating anime and Godzilla movies!

If a historic tragedy ever befalls your people, just turn that frown upside down and look at everything you've gained from it.
