Why do people study history.

History, a set of record that interprets past events in the development of human beings. Each war, revolution, reformation, innovation, and movement has altered history and lay the foundation for the present and the future. We are what we are, and where we are, because of our ancestors. For example, during 500 B.C. to 1400 A.D., the Renaissance contributed to an intellectual movement, and from 1400-1900, the industrial revolution spurred a production and technology revolution. …

…it has can alter everything to the future. From history the evidence of political, social, economic and cultural changes are clearly visible; however we can only read and learn about. Whether the change was good or bad, history will be an awakening for us. The present and the future all depend on the decision we make in the past. Hopefully from the world events, we can realize our mistakes and keep history from repeating itself.
