HISTORY - COMPARING TWO HISTORIANS

Write a two- to three-page short paper (15 percent of total grade) comparing and contrasting the presentation of a historical event by two different historians. Historians do not only provide accounts of events (themes, eras, people); they also argue about what those events mean—and different historians sometimes have different interpretations of the same event. In this paper, you will compare and contrast two historians' interpretations of the same event (theme, eras, people).
