Title: Game Theory in History
In order to interpret and understand History several subjects and their interactions are taken into consideration, for instance economics, sociology and psychology among others. I think it will be good for historians to consider more often game theory as a useful tool to employ in their interpretation efforts; conflicts were common and play and important role in the evolution of history. Game theory could be and excellent option to better understand past conflicts outcomes, particularly when some one is trying to find out the thoughts behind the players at the time and the weight they assigned to the variables involved.
