This also happened in South America. In some cases, the local rulers (Aztecs or Incans) destroyed existing libraries to cement their hold on power, before the Conquistadors arrived. In other cases (Mayans), the Spanish clergy burned most of the books, with a few "codices" saved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices And in the US, we have the 1619 Project, statue toppling, etc. in an effort to revise history.
