Answer the following questions briefly:

How does Karl Marx define history?

Karl Marx has defined history as having “no other way of answering old questions than putting new ones.” He means to say that history is not just the obvious and only about the facts. In fact, history is never a straight answer, but always a concoction of mystery and surprises left for us to solve and reveal. History puts forth much more doubt and scope of research than merely answering the questions that we seek.
