What is History?

Learning history is vital to understanding our past, which in turn, helps to shape our future. Through history, we can trace the origins of human civilization and understand how different cultures have developed over time. We can also learn about key turning points in history – such as the Industrial Revolution or the fall of the Berlin Wall – which have had a profound impact on the world as we know it today. In addition, by studying history, we can gain a greater appreciation for the present and how the actions of our ancestors have helped to shape the world we live in.
