History matters to us and our community because it helps us connect to the past and understand our present.
Step-by-step explanation:
History is a subject that deals with the past and since it is so a natural question about its relevance arises.
But the truth is that the present can be understood and the future can be planned only if there is knowledge of the past. Understanding societies and learning why there are the way they are now is possible only knowing history.
Learning history helps us connect to the past. Stories of wars and brutalities help us understand how dangerous can wars be. To some extent history enables us to develop an understanding about what is ethical and what is not.
