No and yes I thought it was important and not.I it wasn't important because it is so boring to learn and it is important because it is important to know your history.


The five most important reasons for studying history are:1)That history helps us understand people and societies 2)That history helps us understand change and how the society we live in came to be 3)The importance of history in our own lives 4)That history contributes to moral understanding 5)That history is essential for good citzenship.I think these five are important reasons because they all have good points in them and are the most interesting.
