many people ask many questions about history, truth is it can be very confusing. one of the most asked questions is.. does hiistory repeat itself?
The answer is yes, throught history many people make mistakes and learn from them. Many people may follow their footsteps and have a different outcome. This is where the present comes in. History can teach us not only about the past but how we learn from it! many things from the past are carried out till this day. Take laws for example, some laws from the 1500s are still used till this day and shows us how history can have and impact! so what it can teach us is, history is only the past...it is the present and the future!
