I hope you don’t believe Anthony H that it is “impotent.” Rather, it is “important” because as the first answerer says, if you don’t know it, you’re bound to repeat it.

History is more than just facts and dates. It is historians’ perspective of what happened, how it happened, and most importantly, WHY.

History is also called “HIS Story” because it is different based on who is telling the “story.” Different historians have different perspectives on what happened, how it happened, and WHY it happened.

History is facts, but the facts may not always be true.

What about this assignment is not clear to you? What do you need help with? Do you honestly have no idea what history is? Do you honestly have no ideas about why learning history is important? Right now, it just looks as though you’ve posted your assignment and you expect someone else to write the answer for you. I trust it’s not your intent to turn in someone else’s work and pass it off as your own, so please use ADD DETAILS and elaborate.

I mean – are YOU asking because you’re curious, or isn’t this really your assignment that YOU are supposed to write?

History is the study of the past, focused on human activity and leading up to the present day. More precisely, history is the continuous, systematic narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all events in time, in relation to humanity.

it is impt as it serves as a lesson for future generations..

Those who dont learn history are doomed to repeat it. You have to know where you have been to know where you are going.
