Why is history important?

Answer 1

History is important to us because it is the heritage that shaped the world we live in today. What we do today will be part of history in the future.

It is mainly important because it helps us to understand the world, and how it became what we see today. It can help us to solve problems that we face today by seeing the solutions that were tried in the past. We must learn from mistakes that were made before us, so that we do not repeat them.

So that you can help to aviod repeating its mistakes.

History is important because human behavior tends to follow relatively predictable patterns over long periods of time. By studying these past patterns and behaviors we can work to make sure we do not make the same mistakes and help to make the word a better place. History is important so that future generations will understand the sacrifices that were made for them.

History also teaches about problems that we had too.

"To know today, we look to yesterday. To know tomorrow, we see today as yesterday."

History serves as a reminder of the great things we have done, the horrible atrocities that have occurred, and to help those of today to know how we came to this. History is a road that gets fuzzy and hard to remember the further you look back but to forget is a crime in itself.

Studying and understanding history is a great asset for people to observe how the past affects modern times. The history studied can be of events a few years ago to events of thousands of years ago. As an example, anyone who is puzzled by the activities of the US Federal government, can get a better grasp of current events by understanding how the US Constitution was created and why it was created.Understanding history can reveal why Japan, a strong economic power, is not a strong military power. A study of World War Two will reveal most of the answers to that question.
