Nobody is ignorant of the fact that historical events are made up of four factors: necessity, coincidence, spontaneity, freedom.
Nevertheless, it is rare to find a historiographical school that does not seek to reduce them to a single factor.

  1. The original Spanish is:

    Nadie ignora que los acontecimientos históricos se componen de cuatro factores: necesidad, casualidad, espontaneidad, libertad.
    Sin embargo rara es la escuela historiográfica que no pretende reducirlos a uno solo.
