Es nolēmu sākt 2020 izmantojot divus piemērus no profesionālās cīņas, lai apspriestu, kāpēc jūs mainītu vēsturisko pārskatu, kuru esat rakstījis pagātnē. Vēstures rakstīšanā, jūs ierobežojat pieejamie avoti par šo tēmu. Primārie avoti, piemēram, dienasgrāmatas, oficiālie ieraksti un autobiogrāfijas ir ļoti vērtīgas. Arī citi avoti, piemēram, laikraksti, ir labi, taču
