History

History is the study of past events, particularly in human affairs. It encompasses a chronological record of significant occurrences, developments, and changes that have shaped societies, cultures, and civilizations over time. Historians analyze and interpret historical data from various sources, including documents, artifacts, and oral traditions, to understand the causes and effects of events, the lives of individuals, and the dynamics of relationships between different groups. History is not only a record of facts and dates but also an exploration of the patterns and lessons derived from human experience. It provides context for the present and can inform future decisions by revealing how past societies have responded to challenges and opportunities.
