Why do historians apply spatial frames to the study of history?
Historians apply spatial frames to the study of history because dividing history into periods allows historians to present events in order, a simple way of describing a general time period in history. Once evidence is gathered and evaluated, historians use it to reconstruct the past. They often begin by establishing a chronology, or sequence of events. Placing events in sequence helps determine cause and effect and reveals patterns over time. Historians also use evidence to analyze and interpret history. They seek to explain how and why things happened and to assess the significance of past events. Historians may bring their own point of view to their analysis of history. But careful historians try to ensure that the weight of the evidence supports their interpretation.
