Excerpt
The ‘why’ and ‘what’ of history are answerable with the concept of cause and effect. Historians use this concept to identify the causal relationships of events, both short-term and long-term. The use of cause (reason) and effect (outcome) in history requires great understanding and knowledge of chronology.
