Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias.
I believe it is valuable to understand and know what the topic is which makes ‘What is NATO?
And why was it created. Is useful to know the history of NATO and the reasons why it was
created to in order better answer my research question. Also, my other article gives the opposite
as it talks about what is actually happening within NATO and could offer insight as well to my

I believe the historical event is represented by making sure that my research question will align
with how NATO is founded and operated today and how those changes have affected historical
events such as COVID.
