What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1When using a source, historians consider its provenance: who made it, when, and why (its purpose).
  • 2Causes can be long term (building up over years) or short term (the immediate trigger for an event).
  • 3Historical significance depends on factors such as how many people were affected, how long the effects lasted and how much the event changed things.
  • 4A source's usefulness depends on what it can tell us and its limitations, such as bias or missing information.
