History wars (Canada)

The history wars were a series of disputes between Canadian historians in the 1980s and 1990s that focused on the legacy of Canadian residential schools as well as the role of social history.[1][2][3][4] Historian Adam Chipnick describes 1998's Who Killed Canadian History? by J. L. Granatstein as "the pinnacle" of these disputes.[5]

Not to be confused with the Australian history wars.
