Building on the methods of the Göttingen School of History,[7] Ranke set the standards for much of later historical writing, introducing such ideas as reliance on primary sources (empiricism), an emphasis on narrative history and especially international politics (Außenpolitik). ------------------------------------------------------------ Hashtags: #history #Ranke #historiography
