question

This question refers to the following information.
Read the the following quotation to answer questions.
1848 was the decisive year of German, and so of European, history: it recapitulated Germany's past and inspired Germany's future. … Never has there been a revolution so inspired by a limitless faith in the power of ideas; never has a revolution so discredited the power of ideas in its result. The success of the revolution discredited conservative ideas; the failure of the revolution discredited liberal ideas. After it, nothing remained but the idea of Force, and this idea stood at the helm of German history from then on. For the first time since 1521, the German people stepped on to the centre of the German stage only to miss their cue once more. German history reached its turning-point and failed to turn. This was the fateful essence of 1848.
A. J. P. Taylor, The Course of German History, 1945
Why might it be important to note that Taylor was writing his analysis in 1945?

choices

  1. A historian writing at the end of World War II might be inclined to look for, and find, the origins of perceived German belligerence.
  2. A historian writing in 1945 would be dead now, and therefore, his analysis is irrelevant.
  3. Historical analysis written in 1945 is "out of date," and one should look for a more recent book.
  4. A historian writing at the end of World War II would be looking for the origins of the Cold War.
