Is Covid-19 an example of history repeating itself?

To answer this question I personally believe that Covid is not an example of history repeating itself. In class, we studied how the Black Death plague of 1346 affected the people who were caught in areas that were infected with the plague and how life changed for those people. In…

How can we make premodern African history meaningful?

Premodern history is a topic that I believe to be wrongfully passed over. In school, we never learned about the history of Africa unless it tied in with different topics such as European history. How can we make African history more meaningful than just a side topic to other topics…

How To Decide Historical Significance.

To answer the question “How can/should historians decide significance” is a tough question. I believe that in order for something to be historically significant it has to affect many people and or change something about the world that the event took place in such as WWII or 9/11. When historians are deciding what's significant they run into many problems such as who is significant. I believe if whatever action that someone took is relevant to many other people such as MLK, his stand against society started a historical movement that would go down in history. How does the Silk Road fit my personal criteria? I think it fits quite well, the Silk Road is known for being the biggest and well-known trade route from China to India. This major trade route affected many people with a spread of new ideas and trade options.

Historical Perspectives

How can historians take a historic perspective? I believe that historians use a combination of facts, evidence, and perspective in order to gain a fairly accurate idea of what historic times or events were like. Historians have to deal with facts and evidence all the time from artifacts that were…

Continuity and Change in Farming

How did early humans go from hunting and gathering to farming crops and animals. I learned that early humans started farming by picking seeds from wild plants and even domesticating some animals that they let roam for later hunting. This was done so that they had a general idea on…
