Why do we want to know history? Why does history from a recognized part of our education? Simply because all of us and everyone of us ought to know we have come to be what we are, so that each generation need not start again from the same point, and toil over the same ground, but profiting by the experience of those who came before, may advance towards higher points and nobler aims. As a child when growing up might ask his father or grandfather who had built the house they lived in or who had cleared the field that yielded them their food, we ask the historian when wwe came and how we came into possession of what we call our own. History may tell us afterwards many useful and amusing things, gossip, such as a child might like to hear from his father or grandfather, but what history has to teach us before all and everything, is our own antecedents, our own ancestors, our own descent.

Answer :
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 who we are, where we come from, and can potentially reveal where we are headed.
