Why is it difficult to find the truth about historical events? More often than not, we fell into traps placed by either historian whose prestige had been in question or by politicians who try to get advantages of historical events by manipulating them to their own political interests. However, is this true? In this essay, I will explore whether this is grounded or not. Firstly, as a society, we tend to rely on evidence that is usually drawn by well-known historians or simply on assumptions that had been embedded in our society for so long that we don't even know when they started. Although some historians try to blur the boundaries between fiction and reality, we usually are able to distinguish them, provided the right questions are asked: What does this particular historical event have that makes it transcendental to us?; What is it that makes it stand out?. Thus, should we ask ourselves this questions, it is more likely we will never be misled Nevertheless, it might be possible that some politicians try to influence us by using these historical events according to their needs.This has happened before and it could happen again, so what can be done to avoid it? Firstly, we could try, as stated above, to delve ourselves into the details of historical events and try to make up our mind about how historical events folded out and how has that influenced us instead of risking being manipulated by politicians In conclusion, politicians are the ones responsible for trying to prevent us from knowing the truth about these events. Therefore, critical thinking and is the best way to discover it.
