How have recent historians changed the way people view history?
Historians of today and those of the past base their writings on many factors, one unfortunately is a bias they may or may not be aware of. One thing is a certainty, all historians have a cultural background that differs in many ways from one another. Clearly there will be different views of various past events depending on a variety of factors. Historians of today's Russia will have different views of the history of the Soviet Union, depending upon their political bias or lack of them. The ordinary person, one without a political or cultural bias will now as in the past, believe the "history" that best suits themselves. Of course, there is no consensus of how people of any particular period of time, viewed history. There are too many variables, too many different peoples, too many different time periods. What is clear today as it has always been, historians have written different versions of the same periods of time and events. There can be no proven way to determine if recent historians have changed the way people view history. This is true if only based on intellectual thought. There can be no "proof" for lack of a better term that anything has changed because the historians of today have the same views, accurate or inaccurate today as in the past. Any historian or student of history will agree to that,.
