What is a historian trying to understand when examining a historical figures point of view?

History
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is B: when a historian is trying to understand the past by some historical figure's eyes, he/she is trying to identify which factors that person could have taken into account when deciding what to do in their time.

However, the first option (A) is also right: in order to understand what influenced a historical figure, the historian needs to know how that person thought, and felt, and understood the world around her/him.

For example: if a historian is analyzing a historical figure who was religious, he/she has to remember that that person's actions were probably influenced by his/her beliefs. Knowing someone was religious makes it necessary to understand religion as an influencing factor in that person's actions.

Rama09 [41]

Australia is sparsely populated, pollution free zone in comparison with highly industrialized areas that's why Australia have presented itself as a superior alternative to living in industrialized England, Scotland, and Ireland
