C. People's point of view can change to suit changes in historical context.
Allow me to add some explanation about historical context and how that works.
When the Panama Canal was built in the early 1900s, the historical and political context was one of imperialism. President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States used military pressure and warships to force Columbia to recognize Panama's independence, and then arranged with Panama to cede a strip of land to the United States (for $10 million) so that the US could build the canal and control the canal zone for commercial purposes.
By the late 20th century, the historical and political context was much different, and imperialistic control of overseas territories was no longer in vogue. In 1977, US President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty with Panama which agreed to give over control of the canal to Panama by the end of the century, with transfer of control taking place on December 31, 1999.
Part of the reason for willingness to make that transfer was that the Panama Canal had become expensive for the United States to maintain and operate -- so that part of the historical context plays in also. Since Panama took over the canal, they have actually done very well financially with it. You could check out a good book on the subject,<em> The Big Ditch</em>, by Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu, published by Princeton University Press in 2010.
Chancellor Otto von Bismarck was savvy enough to know that the divided German states would rally together around a united cause if they fought in war together for a common cause. So Bismarck provoked a number of wars -- always making it look like he and Prussia were defending German national interests, not acting as the primary aggressors. He strategically sparked war with Denmark over territories that were more German than Danish and thus (Germans felt) should not be under Danish control. On the heels of that issue, he lured Austria into a war that enabled Prussia to establish itself as Austria's equal. Finally, he provoked the French into declaring war on Prussia. (Look up a little thing called the Ems Telegram if you want to know how that happened.) The end result was the defeat of France and the declaration of a German Empire (the Second Reich, as it became known.)
