History is the study of past events, particularly in human affairs.
It’s how we understand what
happened in the past—how people lived, what they believed, what they achieved, and how
those events shaped the present world.
Here are a few simple key points:
● History tells stories about people, places, cultures, and societies.
● It is based on evidence, like written documents, artifacts, buildings, and even oral
traditions.
● It helps us learn from the past, avoid mistakes, and understand different perspectives.
● It’s divided into periods like ancient, medieval, modern, etc.
● Examples include the World Wars, the Egyptian civilization, the slave trade, or the
independence of nations like Trinidad and Tobago.
In short: History is everything that has happened before now—recorded and remembered
to help us better understand today.
