History is the study of the past. The past is the major important events, people and ideas. History can change and we learn more things about a certain time period when we find evidence. We learn history to learn more about ourselves and where we came from. We find out how everything started and changed, we learn about certain things have improved and changed. New ideas and also new solutions. We learn it so we don't end up making the same mistakes but we actually keep on doing them but that helps us to find out more. Through the years we notice trends, patterns, and we can predict things. We learn about other cultures which can help others, which we then learn new ideas and we understand. We can then try less conflict+more peace. To find these things we problem solve, travel to other countries. Research and investigate, it gives us new theories and ideas it gives us new questions. This is why we study History.
"The function off the historian is neither to love the past nor to emancipate himself from the past, but to master and understand it as the key to the understanding of the present." E. H. Car
What this quote means is history is not about love or anything like that what it means is that it helps us understand the future. It helps us.
