History helps explain were our society came from. Those who founded the united states were educated in greek and roman history. You can see this in the architecture in Washington DC.

Answer 9

I don't understand, too why somebody wants to study history itself unless he wants to work in the academy of sciences. But history is important as a tool in human sciences just as mathematics is an important tool in natural sciences and technology. With knowledge of history we can also better understand the mentality, culture and customs of other countries.

Maybe if the U.S. politicians better understood history, they wouldn't think that democracy which is the best system of government in America has to be the best system for the whole world. And not only that. If lawyers know the codes which were used in the past, they can create better laws for today's society because they know what worked in the historical society and they can find similarities.
