Now that you have read 3 different accounts of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest and compared them, it's time to act like a historian.
In your opinion, who is ultimately to blame for the disaster at the Teutoburg Forest:
a. Was it Augustus' fault for sending the legions there?
b. Did Varus provoke the Germans by his actions? Or was it Arminius who concocted the entire scheme?
c. What could have been done differently to prevent this battle?
