How would an informational article about an historical event differ from a piece of historical fiction about the same event?
* Fictional characters could be put in the real historical event * The historical event could be altered to make the Historical fiction piece have a better plot or storyline. * A lot of important details could be left out on the historical fiction piece. Hope this helps and i understood the question. If your doing a report or something, I really wouldn't rely on the Historical Fiction piece (You just never know what you're missing!).

Why do interpretations of events differ in history?
Interpretations of historical events change depending on who is writing the history. The victor of a war will obviously be the one who writes the history of the event. This may bias the record according to their perspective. On the other hand the defeated of a war may want to write an entirely different version but may not be in a position to do so. This is the essence of the famous quote, "History is written by the victors." Sir Winston Churchill.History can be written in retrospect and often doing so reduces the accuracy of the record. It is the duty of a historian to impartially record at the time of the event or as soon as practicable to ensure accuracy. For instance both King Arthur and Robyn Hued (Robin Hood) was written hundreds of years after their supposed deaths and thus is more fiction than historical fact. Where possible Archaeological research can be used to either prove or disprove or question historical records.The best historical records occur when more than one historian of differing backgrounds concur by writing about the event as it happens. This occurs rarely in ancient history due to record loss, but does occur more frequently in modern history. However, in modern times it has become the vogue to attempt to rewrite accepted history through the power of the Internet, to gain political leverage or support. Frequently attempts are made by fringe groups to enter false or heavily biased rewrites of historical events into the public consciousness.
What are examples of numerous views of the truth for the same reality situation?
In a conflict between two parties, each may have their own version of events that led to the dispute, based on their perspective and interests. Witnesses to a crime may have varying accounts of what they saw, influenced by factors such as their vantage point, memory, and biases. Different cultural or societal beliefs can lead to contrasting interpretations of the same historical event or phenomenon.
