It is important as historians to recognise the difference because opinions are not necessarily true, or what happened. You can have 2 or more opinions that go against eachother, but there's only one fact. Opinions also show more of the feeling of the time (whether people liked or disliked certain events), rather than what actually happened. Some effects that are fact, were sparked off by opinions, they are interlinked, but definitely different.
