History is that the written record of past events. History is one of the foremost important subjects we learn at our schools. It helps us to find out about the past. That helps us to find out about societies, systems, people, ideologies, cultures and everything about past events. it’s also won’t to skills we and our surroundings developed from before. But we will not tell about the accuracy of those events but we will have approximations of those events. Finds out the reason why history is important-
Sense of Identity:-History gives us the power to identity. We study how the countries, families, groups, and Institutions were formed and the way they worked. It helps us identify many historical events like wars, treaties, monarchs, development and lots more.
A clear picture of our world:-History gives us a transparent picture of our world. Various systems of previous societies like technology, government, culture, and lots more. which provides a transparent picture of what proportion developed within the past few years.
The change of societies:- most significantly we will study the change of our societies. Only change makes us realise the event we had. Only through studying history can we learn the particular reason behind the changes. We also learn what elements continue no matter changes.
Culture:-Only history can make us study the culture of the many different cultures and other people. we will study the difference between them and us through the culture. So history played an important role in learning about the cultures. Not only other cultures, but also we study the evolution of our own culture.

History is important to study because it is essential for all of us in understanding ourselves and the world around us. There is a history of every field and topic, from medicine, to music, to art. To know and understand history is absolutely necessary, even though the results of historical study are not as visible, and less immediate.To study history is to study change: historians are experts in examining and interpreting human identities and transformations of societies and civilizations over time. Historians use a wide range of sources to weave individual lives and collective actions into narratives that bring critical perspectives on both our past and our present. Studying history helps us understand and grapple with complex questions and dilemmas by examining how the past has shaped (and continues to shape) global, national, and local relationships between societies and people.
The Past Teaches Us About the Present
Because history gives us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past, it positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial perspective for understanding (and solving!) current and future problems.
History Can Be Intensely Personal
In learning about the past, we often discover how our own lives fit into the human experience. In October 2015, a UW alumnus named Michael Stern contacted Professor Aand mos Bitzan for help translating letters from his grandmother, Sara Spira, to his parents. Bitzan was able to integrate some of the letters into his class on the Holocaust to bring to life for his students the day-to-day realities of being Jewish in Nazi-occupied Poland.
Everything Has a History
Everything we do, everything we use, everything else we study is the product of a complex set of causes, ideas, and practices. Even the material we learn in other courses has important historical elements – whether because our understanding of a topic changed over time or because the discipline takes a historical perspective. There is nothing that cannot become grist for the historian’s mill.
