    History vs. Historiography

    • History: Records actual past events, facts, and experiences.
    • It aims to reconstruct and understand the past based on evidence.
    • Focuses on "what happened."

    • Examples: The fall of the Roman Empire, the American Revolution, World War II.

    Historiography

    • Examines how history is written and interpreted over time.
    • Analyzes the methodologies, perspectives, and biases of historians.
    • Focuses on "how history is written," including interpretation and representation.
    • Includes different schools of thought and approaches to history (e.g., Marxist, feminist).

    • Examples: Analyzing differing interpretations of the French Revolution or perspectives on slavery.

    Philippine History/Historiography
