Historical interpretations are subject to change because history is not a fixed collection of facts but an ongoing process of interpretation. New evidence, shifting perspectives, and changing societal values all lead historians to revisit and revise earlier understandings. Historians continuously reinterpret the past based on different questions asked, new sources or evidence discovered, and the influences of contemporary contexts that shape which aspects of history are emphasized or reconsidered. Additionally, history is always incomplete, as not all events can be fully known or recorded, making each generation's interpretation provisional and open to revision. This dynamic nature of historical scholarship means that interpretations change as knowledge and viewpoints evolve over time.
