In the past,most American scholars believed that Carl Becker's relativism historical thought originate from a single theory or thought.On the contrary,the formation of Becker's historiography concept is deeply rooted in a quite complex social and ideological context.Becker grew up in the American Midwest,and his early experience has left a deep imprint on his worldview and way of thinking.Well-read and quick to think,he was influenced and inspired by several contemporary historians at the University of Wisconsin and Columbia.Moreover,he paid more attention to the discussion of historical knowledge in American historians at that time,and the First World War also brought him great ideological impact.All of these converge on a kind of joint force,which pushes him to form a systematic relativism historical thought.
