About This Quote
Historical gap is created due to missing written records. The history of people and events is often lost, and this lack of written records can make it difficult to know exactly what happened in the past. Sometimes, current events can be compared with historical events to understand how those things have changed. For example, the United States’ involvement in World War II was a topic that was covered extensively during the late 1940s and early 1950s.
In an effort to study the U.S. involvement in World War II, a historian went back through old news articles from those years and found a lot of similarities between the way Americans spoke about their country’s role in World War II at that time and how they currently speak about their country’s involvement in the war today.
