How did H. G. Wells approach historical analysis?

Answered in H. G. Wells's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

I approached history as a grand, unfolding narrative of human development, seeking to identify underlying forces and patterns that shaped civilizations. It was not merely a chronicle of kings and battles, but an exploration of the evolution of thought, social structures, and our relationship with the material world. I believed that by understanding our past, we could better navigate the present and consciously direct our future. My method involved synthesizing scientific understanding with historical observation to illuminate the trajectory of human endeavor.
