Opening · a restatement

The above quote conveys that history books convey only the periods of war and conflict. This is done to highlight:

Body · points

  • Reasons for the war,
  • Methods and tactics used in War,
  • Impact of war on the world.

Close · a summary

However, periods of peace are not wholly ignored. History books do mention the economic, political and cultural developments that took place during the time of peace.

Thus, history books must mention all the events that take place during both peace and war for the benefit of students.
