Answer 2

A well known author once said, " History is a bridge connecting the past with the present and pointing the road to the future." 
History is to the human what memory is to man. It makes one understand one's relationship with the past like man's evolution, his progress in civilization, his successes and failures, his laws and his wars, his religions and his arts. It gives account of the important developments that had taken place in the past with reference to countries, men and women who played a significant part. 
Through history, one studies the rise and fall of empires and that of civilizations and thus the lessons of the past help one to avoid the hazards of the present .
