Yes it lacks large swathes of history but live is for toddlers with beautiful illustrations and we will not make them swallow the years of Great History while they learn at school. I do not think there was a desire to deliberately omit or ignore the Second War for example. The first war was put there in the historical section as the option to Louis XIV, and not all the other kings, who nevertheless marked French history. This is not an encyclopedia either. It should perhaps take this book for what it is and take pleasure to discover his child who will ask a lot of questions later;)
