Which text is valuable for gaining context about a historical event but is unreliable as evidence

History
1 answer:
Mars2501 [29]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Secondary historical sources.

Explanation:

Two types of sources, primary and secondary, have generally been represented in history. The primary sources are artefacts, documents, records, and other raw, source material, and they serve primarily as a source of information for the historian.

Secondary sources include quotes, comments and the like. For many historians, secondary sources create problems, they may be useful, but they need to be correctly interpreted. Because of their form, they are subject to change (because the quotation can be distorted over time and get another meaning), so they should be carefully handled. Therefore, they are distrustful of context and unreliable for proof.

What impact did the Byzantine empire have on the development of early Russian culture?Support your answer with at least two exam
Tatiana [17]
<span>The Byzantine had major effect on early Rus culture. One of the first major effects is in their written language. Prior to this they used mainly runic script, but after contact they developed a modified Greek script, Cyrillic, to use in their writings. They would also add some items of culture, such as language to these peoples. The word Czar would be developed from Byzantine and Roman culture, from their word Caesar, who was the Emperor and originally derived from the Emperor Julius Caesar. This root word is found in many languages in the area, including Kaiser in Germany. The last impact would be the religion. Greek Orthodoxy, a break away from the church in Rome, gained a foothold here in Russia where it stays until today. The remainder of Western Europe and even some of the Slavic regions are still predominantly Roman Catholic, with exception to Russia and its surrounding regions.</span>

How did the Cold War begin and how did the nuclear weapons make it a Cold War
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Before the Cold War, the atomic age started. Three nations: England, USA and Soviet Union, decided that during World War II, they would construct the nuclear bomb. Britain set aside its own job and became a junior partner in 1943 of the Manhattan Project. Before August 1945, the Soviet effort was tiny. British and U.S projects were motivated by fear of a German nuclear bomb, but Germany chose not to make any severe attempts in 1942 to construct the bomb. The United States produced two bombs ready for use by August 1945, in an exceptional show of science and industrial power. By that time, Germany had been defeated, but President Harry S. Truman chose to use the Japan bomb.
