AP European History
Unit 5 – Conflict, Crisis, and Reaction in the Late 18th Century
Topic 5.2
What factors should be considered when evaluating a secondary source's point of view concerning European colonial expansion during the Age of Discovery?
The author’s background, the source's intended audience, its purpose and historical context.
If the source agrees with primary sources, no further evaluation is needed.
Only the author’s nationality and political affiliations are relevant.
The source is always correct if written by a historian with a PHD.
