Compare Two Competing Historical Interpretations of the Same Event

Exam boards love asking you to evaluate historiographical debate, which requires actually knowing what the debate is. This lays out two competing interpretations of the same event side by side, what evidence each leans on, and where the argument currently sits, without you having to track down both historians yourself.
