My teacher said the all the countries teach their kids about the Second World War the way it has to be, except Germany, Japan and Italy.
("the way it has to be'',according to my teacher is that Allies were good guys and Germany, Japan and Italy were the bad guys).

I want to know, is that true?
If so, what's the point of view that this 3 countries teach to it's children?
 
Unfornately Germany, Italy and Japan don't learn much about their involement in World War II because it is seen as a national shame. Every country has one; Australia the Aboriginals, America-Vietnam. Your teacher is not right in a sense; no-one was really the 'good' guy as many innocent people were caught up in the war and many soldiers died due to stupidity on both sides.
If they were taught about World War II they would try to tell the truth in the best way possible and not 'hit them where it hurts'. If they did learn about the World War II this is what they'd learn; Germans would learn Hitler was a great guy, built lots of stuff, went crazy, started a war and cause the deaths of over 60 million people, Italians would learn Mussolini was a horrible evil fascist who made Italy strong and the Japanese would learn that their Emperor was sent a divine mission.
