=== World history examples ===

The following types of statements or implications may be considered historical misinformation and used to fail a work:

* "The Soviet Union was founded by Lenin" <i>(It was founded by tightly-organized sections of factory workers, and peasants that were tired of feudalism.)</i>
* "Stalin's followers conspired to take over the Soviet Union" <i>(They were some of the most skilled theorists and had widespread popular support.)</i>
* "The Soviet Union allied with Nazi Germany" <i>(The Soviet Union hesitated to risk losses through attacking Nazi Germany.)</i>
* "Trotsky believed in Liberalism" <i>(He was nearly the only member of the Trotskyite conspiracy that clearly didn't.)</i>
* "Herbert Marcuse invented identity politics" <i>(He made some kind of assertion that Marxism was equivalent to a bunch of university students spontaneously deciding to not believe in capitalism, but he didn't do that.)</i>
* "[[redlink - United States of Socialism|Menshevism was invented by gangs]]" <i>(No.)</i>
* "George Washington didn't believe in liberalism" <i>(Did he believe in monarchy? Republicanism is almost always a loose synonym for Liberalism, unless a republic is several different factions fighting over early Afghanistan without really creating much of a stable republic. Or unless the people of Afghanistan create a <em>workers'</em> republic.)</i>
* (etc.)

This is not an exhaustive list.
