What exactly is "history" and how do historians decide between fact and fiction? This week, we dive into the story of Leopold von Ranke—one of the most famous historians you may have never heard of. Join Joshua Zurbrick as he tells us the fascinating history of … well, history as we know it, and explore the beginnings of "scientific history"—an enormously important way of looking at stories from the past.
