History is the study of how societies evolve and grow over time. The study of history enables us to assess these effects and to comprehend how past human action affects the present and shapes our future. Therefore, studying history is about developing a disciplined perspective on the past and how it influences the present. Investigating history is a process. As a result, it involves asking what happened in the past. What time did it occur? Then, why did it occur? What were the outcomes, both immediate and long-term? It involves applying critical thought to both the stories we tell ourselves and others about the past.
