Default to look back on/to or vs. review
Dictionaries give almost the same definition for to look back on/to history and to review history. But from contexts it seems to me that they carry different meanings.
to look back on/to history sounds like "considering events happened in history".
to review implies that you change your opinion about events happened in history.
Am I right?
