Thinking in terms of cause and effect remains a valuable skill necessary for historians. Causes are multiple and layered, involving both long-term ideologies, institutions, and conditions, and short-term motivations, actions, people, groups and events. Historical Significance What is worth remembering? Significant events include those that resulted in great change over long periods of time for large numbers of people. World War II passes the test for historical significance in this sense. When we look at a piece of the past, we need to ask about the changes around it. Can we point to other historical events or people and relate them to this person or event? Was it a change that involved or reflected larger systems in some way? What was the broader impact of the change?
