Concepts such as the futility of war, political ideologies, social and economic movements and events are also taught to us through the subject referred to as History. In an ideal world, it allows us as a civilization to learn from our ancestors mistakes. We should be wiser and less hasty - instead reasoning and abstracting the situation of previous civilisations against the one we face at that impending time.
For example, in many armies the Commanders will often review the past in order to ensure that they both do not make the same mistakes, and gain strategic advantage by being able to gain the combative wisdom without the loss of lives.
History allows us to put names to the buildings and events around us, and help us to understand their role in the "bigger picture" - the events that last well beyond one person's lifetime (e.g. the Industrial Revolution, the building of the Pyramids, etc).
By studying History, we can understand who we are, and gain a sense of belonging. We each know who our society's people actually are because of our heritage. Without it we would possess a foolish, arrogant nature- doomed to destroy ourselves and those around us by our tendency to forget the past lessons. Every city would be blank and featureless with only buildings built with a modern design and structurally sound would remain. Restoration of these structures would be pointless past a certain stage - and we would lose any idea of how those people who existed before us had ever lived.

To teach, exhort, provide some history, tell us God's ways, keep us from straying, and to describe the covenant and God's commands.
History shows what has happened so we don't repeat bad things again. Also, it is a good way to help people by them seeing what others did in the same situation.
Yes :)
