Answer 4

Despite the cliche, history does NOT repeat itself.  Each situation is unique, and you really can't apply solutions used in the past to the problems of the present or future.  You must look at what is going on NOW, and base your decisions on it.

As such, the importance of history is greatly overstated.  It's value is mostly in recreation and entertainment, it has no practical purpose.

Answer 5

Because history repeats itself..........

Answer 6

Answer 7

It's not really a question you're going to find one, correct answer to.  It's more subject to opinion...so, why do you think history is important?

Usually people say it's because we can learn a lot from the mistakes and triumphs of the thousands of generations of people that have come before us.

Answer 9

People, in general, repeat themselves.  When there are major events occurring, being able to see things that happened in the past can help to prevent disasters in the future.  Knowing things like, Major power outages can cause riots, can help law enforcement agencies to be able to better protect against these things.  Without examples from history people may not be inclined to change a course of action that could negatively effect our world.
