History enables us to understand what occurred in the past.

By studying history,
we can have a deeper understanding of the world we live in. Historical events and
trends are well-known and well-understood, particularly over the last century, allowing
us to appreciate current events more thoroughly.
When we say primary source, it is an original object or document - the raw
material or first-hand information, source material that is the most closely related to the
topic under investigation. But not all primary sources are reliable. Some of them are
changed by the historian who discovered or experienced an event in the past.
So, if we're looking into what happened in the past, don't believe some of it
unless it's backed up by credible evidence.
