Question

Why y do we try to divide history into different period????

Answer 1

it is because of the following reasons:
1. It is an attempt to capture the characteristics of a time, its central features as they appear to us. 
2. To demarcate the difference between periods which become important. 
3. To reflect our ideas about the past. They show how we see the significance of the change from one period to the next.

Answer 2

We do so in an attempt to capture the characteristics of a time, its central features as they appear to us. So the terms through which we periodise – that is, demarcate the difference between periods – become important. They reflect our ideas about the past.
