What happens in the past is all history. Whether it is of historical significance depends on one`s own point of view. What is historically important to you or your community or race depends on how you view the event. It also depends on your personal emotions or feelings at the time and on hindsight. History can be interpreted in many different ways, and one of the means of interpreting it depends on personal experience. Another is dependent on which commentator you choose to believe. Many events in history are distorted by people with hidden agendas to distort what happened in actual fact. I`m afraid there is no simple answer, but the important thing is that you had the intelligence to ask the question. What is important is that you decide.
