Understand Why A Historical Event Actually Happened
The textbook gave you one cause and one date, and it never quite explained why anyone involved thought what they were doing made sense. This separates the immediate trigger from the deeper causes, gives more than one side of the story, and corrects the misconception most people carry away from school.
