Politely disagree with the previous response, because a thesis is not just an objective fact or summary of an event. A thesis presents the main argument that the author will be substantiating in the rest of the essay. I talk more about it here: https://questioncove.com/study#/updates/5f36e10c625a83025eed0000 and here: https://questioncove.com/updates/547c6cd2e4b0749d94799ece
