Of the four ways to view history that we looked at in class I think that the vortex theory is the best way. I think think because the way to look at history as a timeline only highlights certain events and not everything that has happened or even why is happened. The vortex theory has been proven again and again throughout history with the rise and fall of nations around the world. Some key examples would be the Roman Empire, the United States going into the Great Depression but then coming back out strong and being a leading power in the world, Europe going into the Dark Ages and the the Renaissance, etc.
