What is "History" and why do we learn it?

What is history?

I learned in class that history is the past and what major event,person or idea came to place. History also needs to do with religion and colonies that settled around the world. We study the history of how those colonies survived and what they did.

Why do we study history?

We study history so we an understand where we came from and how we evolved, what we did right and wrong. We also study history for signs of disasters that wiped out settlements and might happen in the future. Ideas also come in to play because they can be put in the future of other things.
