Broad Strokes is specifically for past canon events that have already been depicted elsewhere in the franchise. If the events haven't been depicted by said franchise, then it should be filed under Artistic License – History instead.

Not a question about any specific work, but usage of a trope.
On some film pages, I've seen Broad Strokes used for films that are historical in setting (i.e. Real Life history) or a biography.
Broad Strokes is "the details are different, but the story still took place", but when should Artistic License – History be used instead for these sort of things on entries where it's a history-related work?
I'm not talking about Alternate History -based series, but more series that focus on real history, e.g. Mini Series or films.
