Answer:

Supposedly we study history so that we don't make the same mistakes as we did in the past. Aside from that, history tells us what happened in the past. So if we wanted to know why we do some of the things today, we can take a look in the past and see how that came to be. And as for people who usually study history like geologists or whatever, they just like to know what happened way back when. To see what was here before us and whatnot. With history, we are also able to check our evolution. For example, we are able to see who made what discoveries and why they were important in history.

We study history to learn from it. If we study history and decide to learn from the mistakes of the past we can make sure we don't make the same mistakes in the future. History has made almost every mistake possible and we have the choice to listen to it or not. If we listen to history and not twist the facts we are more likely to succeed in the future. We can see what went wrong and apply it to our lives. We make mistakes in our lives and we learn from them. We should do the same with history.
