For the Native Americans/Indigenous history it's even worse and the propaganda and bullshit history is far more insidious and malicious.
White westerners constantly acted like DA NEw W0RLd was this untamed land with scattered barbarian savage natives who never got past hunter-gatherer Neanderthal levels of technology, but the truth is that the entire Americas both North and South and also Central had numerous flourishing and quite advanced civilizations numbering in easily in the tens if not hundreds of millions. Basically, even the worst predictions would have their populattions flourishing at the same numbers or about the same numbers as Europeans. Likely more because the continents of either Americas are absolutely massive compared to Euorpe (excluding Russia of course since they wanna call the Russians ORKSSSSS).
There is one notable example of an indigenous city that was literally CARVED into the mountains and caves of pure rock and stone in the American Southwest. It's one of those red hot desert rocky places. Anasazi I believe.
This level of engineering is far more impressive than almost anything europe produced until industrialization since these guys built all of this with no metallury basically and they didn't have horses for labor either.
Similarly, other Mesoamerican civilizations had incredible surgery and medical practices using only obsidian tools. Tools whose edge was so sharp that they are basically not even beaten by today's technology except for extremely high quality medical grade surgerical or industrial tools. Not to mention that mesoamerican math, astronomy, and their calendar was better than Europeans by a long shot until industrialization once again. Actually the mesoamerican calendar pretty much still beat everybody else's in the whole world right up until modern science came around. And even then we were basically just proving with physical evidence what they already knew centuries if not thousands of years ago.
White westerners also act like they had such superior military prowess against them when the truth is that westerners spreading their filthy disgusting diseases and germs and shit all over the place was pretty much the number one reason why the indigenous could never organize a proper resistance. Along with poisoning them alcohol (I still consider the closest the west to have ever come to destroying China was using Opium as a weapon), and also almost rendering buffalo extinct...which is akin to starving the indigenous to death since that was both their primary source of food and also their entire culture revolved around buffalo/bison so much.
