Technically no, but you should do your best

it is difficult, everyone has their own biases in what sources they favor over others, you just have to do the best you can to be fair. When you know a lot about a subject it becomes really obvious when you're reading something that is not objective, where the author has a particular axe to grind and never misses an opportunity to for instance point out faults or atrocities committed by one side in a conflict but ignore or downplay those committed by the side they favor. Recently looked at a new book that came out a couple months ago about the Chinese civil war, that had a really egregious bias against the CCP. I'm certainly no fan of them, but it was very blatant to me as someone who has studied that conflict in depth, and frankly kind of eerie because I very quickly saw what he was doing and once I did I knew exactly what bad faith arguments he was going to make before he made them.

If you are really biased people who are knowledgeable on a subject will be able to call you out.

No, that is why part of teaching history is analizing the source material and applying critical thinking to the situation that is being studied, i.e. we have little to no first hand accounts of the american genocide so most of what we "know" comes from the spanish... since we dont have any direct account, you can use the spanish letters (columbus diary, letters to king/queen) to see how they portrayed the trip and compare that with the "chronicle"/story of a native descendant talking about how his culture and way lf living has been erased and replaced with a foreign one that placed his people on the bottom of society.


Every person has their own subjective truth and every narration we have is subjected to this truth that the individual creates, we can only get so close to reality through that but you always tl remember that youre building reality through the lens of different people and not an objective neutral view (impossible since that can only be done in the now... and its beyond of human capacity)

It is impossible to do anything in a worldview-neutral way.

>Is it possible to tell history in an objective way?
no. no source is truly objective and even if you could personally live through all of history you are not perfectly objective
