In 1990, the middle eastern country of iraq invaded its smaller neighbor, kuwait. in response, an international coalition of forces led by the united states attacked iraq. the resulting gulf war lasted several months and ended with the defeat of iraq, which withdrew its forces from kuwait. a historian interviews two people who fought during a certain battle during the gulf war. one person says u. s. forces fired first; the other person says iraqi forces fired first. to try to learn what really happened, the historian should

Continue interviews and attempt to find other documents.

Historians often must consult many points of view and documents to determine what occurred during an event.

In the case above, historians need more information to come to any conclusions on the event. Of course, each side of the battle will have differing perspectives but with multiple interviews, some conclusions could be made. Any additional documents available could also help such as military plans, media images, or civilian accounts. With any historical event, historians will establish historical facts which will be consistent and the historical analysis which are variable and based on the perspective of the accounts and the historian.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.
