We learn about history, so we can attempt to make the present and future a better place to live. By learning about our past we can make better choices and not make the same mistakes twice. And we also learn about ourselves and how we can, perhaps make history.

We try to reconstruct the past so that we can understand the present and plan for the future. If the dramatic stories of the past, in themselves, do not interest a student, and if a student has no desire to understand the present or to plan for the future, then I suspect that no answer to the question will be good enough.

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.
"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
connecting the past to the present
History is the study of past events, people and places in order observe patterns in order to learn from and prevent bad patterns in the future. "The Country that doesn't learn from its past mistakes is doomed to repeat those mistakes in the future." I think this quote is a good summary of why people look at history and also its timeliness in any generation.
