Which of the following is true of a historical event?

The statement that is true of a historical event is:

**Events reflect someone's point of view.**

Historical events are often interpreted and recorded through the perspectives and biases of those who document them, which means that our understanding of these events can vary based on who is telling the story and their viewpoint.

The other statements have issues:
- **Events are created by someone:** While events can involve people, they are not necessarily "created" in the way that a work of art is; they occur independently of anyone's wishes.
- **Events can be seen forever:** While we can study or learn about historical events, the events themselves are temporal and can't be "seen" in the present.
- **Events happen once and then are no longer visible:** While events do occur at a specific time, their impact and significance can be felt long after they happen, and they are very much subjects of study and interpretation.
