The main point of the passage below is?

History is one of the chief sources of data for political scientists. When we discuss the politics of the Third French Republic (18711940), the growth of presidential power under Franklin Roosevelt (19331945), and even something as recent as the Cold War (19471989), we are studying history. But historians and political scientists look for different things and handle data differently. Typically, historians study one episode in detail, digging up documents, archives, and news accounts on the topic. They have masses of data focused on one point but venture few or no generalizations. Political scientists, on the other hand, begin by looking for generalizations. We may take the findings of historians and compare and contrast them. A historian might do a detailed study of Weimar Germany (19191933); a political scientist might put that study alongside studies of France, Italy, and Russia of the same period to see what similarities and dissimilarities can be found. To be sure, some historians do comparative studies; they become de facto political scientists.
