How much should a historian trust a confession extracted by torture

History
1 answer:
agasfer [191]3 years ago
6 0

A confession extracted by torture should not easily be trusted by a historian. One of the reasons why this is the case is because the individual who was being tortured may have admitted to something that he/she did not do in order to stop the physical punishment they were facing. However, this does not necessarily mean that all confessions extracted by torture are not true. A good historian would use several different pieces of evidence and research in order to determine the validity of the confession.

The italian City-states were in a central___ for trade.<br> Fill in the blank
Reil [10]

he Italian city-states were a political phenomenon of small independent states mostly in the central and northern Italian peninsula between the 9th and 15th centuries.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, urban settlements in Italy generally enjoyed a greater continuity than in the rest of western Europe. Many of these towns were survivors of earlier Etruscan, Umbrian and Roman towns which had existed within the Roman Empire. The republican institutions of Rome had also survived. Some feudal lords existed with a servile labour force and huge tracts of land, but by the 11th century, many cities, including Venice, Milan, Florence, Genoa, Pisa, Lucca, Cremona, Siena, Perugia, Spoleto, Todi, Terni, and many others, had become large trading metropoles, able to obtain independence from their formal sovereigns.
