History is studied to learn of the mistakes and successes of humankind. With such knowledge, successes can be made to fit modern times and mistakes and errors of the past can be avoided. History can also be studied simply on the basis of seeing what events happened in the past.
Good question but don't stop with just history why learn anything? The world always needs more cleaners and burgers don't fry themselves. If your question is a legitimate one, the simple answer is it shows us (humans) where we have come from, helps learn from the mistakes of the past and hopefully helps us not to repeat them in the future. Also it can be interesting.
I used to like it before 7th grade, then it got to complicated. But everyone needs History so we don't repeat it. Because we do not want to be repeating everything our fallen ancestors did. And that's why history is important for all of us to learn and understand. History might not be the most interesting subject for you. But it is required for schools and for America. If you think about it what would happen if someone makes a huge mistake, that has already been repeated in history? And it could have been avoided? That's why everyone should learn history because who likes repeating mistakes?
History tells us a biased opinion of what has occurred from the view of the victor. If taken with this grain of truth in mind, history can show us a lot about the development of the human race (both good and bad) from many different aspects. A sociologist will use history much differently than say a military historian would or a linguist might. We can chart with the study of History; technology, sociology, psychology, the causes of the rise and decline of civilizations and and there application to present day.
History allows us to study people and societies, and it leads us to understand where they are now, and how they got there. History helps us understand change, and it makes us better informed citizens.
History teaches us about the past, which helps us make decisions in the future and (hopefully) learn from mistakes.
White guilt. History guides future. Learning the history makes us avoid from making the same mistakes (that made in the past) in the future. Also we learn the causal link between cases and it makes easy to observe and learn today's economy, politics and sociology.
History is very important to our country as it helps us present day people learn from our mistakes.
it helps us learn from our mistakes..and it teaches us who we are and where we came from..also history helps us understand different people and societies around the world.
If we did not learn our own history we would make the same mistakes often recorded in any kind of history textbook or the like. As long as we know what we have done wrong in the past we can avoid it in the future as long as we are willing to actually learn from our mistakes.

To preserve the truth of history so that future generations learn and know the truth and to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Learning history helps us avoid future mistakes.
Because when you study the mistakes that people have made in the past, you can learn not to repeat them. and by studying history we can know what are we... what can we do... what is our power... n what are limitations .... sometimes history can give spirit, ideas, inspiration and confidence in our selves...
Learning history helps us to understand the actions of our ancestors. Why they chose to do what they did. My favorite explanation however is: Learning history allows us to learn from the mistakes others made and hopefully we will make better choices for ourselves and those around us.
history builds us. We as a nation, a world can learn from all our mistakes, such as letting a politican being a war leader which killed millions of Jews. We should spot and look for any danger to civil and the community.
To understand the past and what events have brought us to where we are now. Understanding the past is to understand the mistakes we have made and to make a positive stance to move forward.
