[A] multiplicity of historical perspectives is a reality. Generally, the only intersecting points in different narratives of a historical event are the cold facts of dates, locations and personalities involved in the event, but each of the historiographers’ interpretation of such event is extremely variable. In other words, historiography is by and large a matter of interpretation, and therefore belongs to the realm of subjectivity. History is not only a recording of past events but also a recorded interpretation of past events deemed to be significant to different interest groups. - Ruel F.
