Is history just listing the facts?
History is listing what happened, when, where and if possible why. It is usually facts (because something either happened or it didn't, and often a large amount of proof is available), but occassionally historians are reduced to making educated guesses where that proof is lacking or lost.
What is the relationship between history and geography?
History can often decide history. For example, The sacond punic war (Carthage vs Rome). Hannibal lost thousands of men on the alps (Livy puts it at 36,000). This had an ompact on his ability in Italy. Hannibal also won victory at the Trebbia as the river froze the Romans spirits. There are many other examples in history. I really hope that this isn't a homework question for you.
What Is HistoryWho studies history?
History is a science that studies the logical connections between events in the past, slowly creeping up to the present day and helps to suggest what will happen tomorrow. How does it work? If you lost all your money yesterday, today you won't be able to eat, tomorrow you will have health problems. With historical events, the logic works similarly.
Why does the war of 1812 loom so much larger in Canadian history than in American?
It has often been said that the history of wars are written by the winners of those wars. Since Canada won the War of 1812, the history of it was written by and for Canadians. It has also often been said that the losers of wars tend to forget about those wars. Since the US lost the War of 1812, there has been a strong tendency to ignore it.
