Even though global history may seem distant, understanding history shows how all events are interconnected. As a society, it enables us to learn from our previous errors, which assists us in deciding how to approach the future. It helps in our understanding of the diverse causes of human behavior. As a result, it makes us more objective when making decisions. One can better deal with the challenges and opportunities of the present and future by understanding the enormous complexity of our planet via history. History shapes our sense of identity. People need to become aware of their shared history. What we are currently is a result of past events.

According to a philosopher, the only thing we can learn from history is that there is nothing to learn. It is a worrying thought, considering how many mistakes people have made throughout history. As is usually stated, history repeats itself.

The first reason History is important, is because it helps us understand change and how the society we live in came to be.
The second reason history is inescapable as a subject of serious study follows closely on the first. The past causes the present, and so the future.
A third reason is because if we don't learn from the past, we're most likely
doomed to repeat it.
