In a shocking revelation that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about history, movies and TV shows have been caught in a web of deceit. It turns out that your favorite historical dramas are actually just elaborate fantasies designed to make you feel smart while you're watching them.

"The Crown," for instance, has been accused of fabricating so many details that it's a wonder Prince Charles didn't grow up on the moon. Meanwhile, "The Great" has admitted to making up nearly everything, including the parts about Russia not being a land of ice and snow all year round. And don't even get started on "Peaky Blinders," where Winston Churchill was apparently a closeted gangster who moonlighted as a Birmingham street fighter.

But the real kicker is that audiences are still glued to these shows, proving that when it comes to history, fiction is definitely more fun. So, the next time you're watching a historical epic, just remember: it's all a lie, and you're probably rooting for the wrong side of history.
