Definition1/17
When history is generalized it is a statement that such and such
a thing happened because of one particular event. To over simplify
something is to take away it's meaning from the historical context.
History is often reflected by the biases of the researchers. If you
look an old map of the world you will notice that Europe and North
America are larger than Africa or South America. This is a biased
representation of the world. They are actually larger.
