what is history?
history can be simply defined as the study of past events or the act of remembering what has happened.
the word HISTORY is generated from the Greek word "HISTORICA"
we are history because our day-to-day activities will become history.
it can also be defined as the whole series that is connected to a particular person or thing.
why history is important?
history is important because it will enable us to know about our past ancestors and the world around us.
below are some reasons to study history:
- Individual World
History will let you know more about your World, by studying the history behind your environment and vicinity.
you will assimilate new things that will benefit your society.
- Revelation of IDENTITY
history exposes identity, if you didn't know an individual or an object before, and you want to know about it, you need to go for that history of such thing, history will reveal its identity.
- Change
history also takes part in the change of our society with Time.
the era we used yesterday is different from today, to confirm that, you need to go deep into HISTORY
- present-day problem
you will know the different recent problems if you identify past events
the life that we are using today is different from that one that we have used in the past decade.
History helps us to understand present-day issues by asking deeper questions as to why things are the way they are. Why did wars in Europe in the 20th-century matter to countries around the world? How did Hitler gain and maintain power for as long as he had? How has this affected shaping our world and our global political system today?

Understanding past events and how they impact the world today can bring about empathy and understanding for groups of people whose history may be different from the mainstream. You will also understand the suffering, joy, and chaos that were necessary for the present day to happen and appreciate all that you can benefit from past efforts today.
