Can I use the wordpress loop in pages?

I'm making my first Wordpress theme and I've faced an issue lately.

I have a template file page-event.php. I intend to use it to answer the /events path (I have also created an events page). This works at the moment, but I want to make the events template loop through all the posts in categories events.

For some reason, this doesn't work. When I use the loop in the page-event.php template, it brings up only one post named events. I don't know why this happens.

I think it's showing just the category holder for events.

My question is

• Isn't it possible to use the Wordpress loop to loop posts in any template file?
• Why does the code loop through categories instead of posts?

Here's a look through my code in my page-events.php

<?php get_header();?>

<?php 
    if(have_posts()){
        while(have_posts()){
            the_post();?>
            <p><?php the_title();?></p>
        <?php }
    } 

    wp_reset_query();
    ?>

<?php get_footer();?>

I expect this code to at least provide a simple list of all the posts on the blog, but it returns a single category with the name events.

Thanks in advance.

Update.

I recently echoed out the $query_string variable to see what Wordpress was doing, it returned pagename=events. So it turns out Wordpress is only searching for pages because the page-event.php was a post type of page.

Need more help on how to make the loop search for posts instead of pages.
