Is mathematical history written by the victors

The ABCs of the History of Infinitesimal Mathematics The ABCs of the history of infinitesimal mathematics are in need of clarification. To what extent does the famous dictum “history is always written by the victors” apply to the history of mathematics as well? A convenient starting point is a remark made by Felix Klein in his book Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint (Klein [72, p. 214]). Klein wrote that there are not one but two separate tracks for the development of analysis:
