Historical fact are facts about the past. It is really impossible to come up with a

single historic fact. Because when we talk about history, it has many connections.

The events in history is list chronological order in which it explains who are involved

during that certain time. History tells why such events happen and gives us

information on why such things exist in this present time. There are timelines to

follow that contains different historic events. But historical accounts are subject to

disagreement. Why? It is because of the fact accurate history is difficult to attain for

many reasons. Many information with regards to the past are lost. There are also

many oral history but lack of written documents. Oral account may loss the essence

of the information due to passing from one person to another. Each will interpret the

information differently that lead to misinterpretation. That’s why it’s very impossible

to come up with only single historical facts because of these many reasons.
