Hempel saw traditional historical explanation wanting, and argued that historical explanation take the form of the covering law model, a deductive-nomological explanation of historical events derived from laws and the conditions of the event. Part of the reason that traditional historical explanations have been wanting is due to their being incomplete, which Hempel also addresses.
