Importance :-

History is the knowledge of and study of the past. It is the story of the past and a form of collective memory. History is the story of which we are, where we come from, and can potentially reveal where we are headed. It is essential for all of us in understanding ourselves and the world around us. There is a history of every field and topic, from medicine, to music, to art. To know and understand history is absolutely necessary, even though the results of historical study are not as visible, and less immediate. 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 had an effect on shaping our world and our global political system today? The skills that are acquired through learning about history, such as critical thinking, research, assessing information, etc, many employers see these skills as being an asset in their employees and will hire those with history degrees in various roles and industries.

The subject of history can helps to develop skills and transform you to be a better version of yourself as a citizen, a student, and person overall.
