Lacee post

Studying history is important to learn what not to do and to know what happened before you. To know what others did in the past will help everyone in the future to not make the same mistakes. To know what had happened in the past can help lead to a peaceful existence. For example, the war with Ukraine and Russia, we can see Russia attacking the Ukraine to overthrow their government and stop them from joining NATO. Russia has a history of going to war. Thy have been in 75 wars in history and are the second most powerful military in the world. Knowing their history could help Ukraine defend them in the war they are now.

Tyra post

History is important because we need to learn how the world came about and how the world has evolved over the years. Also, history repeats itself over and over, so why not learn and prepare ourself for the future. 

A current even that’s in the news would the one and only COVID-19. Pandemics have been known to appear all throughout history. I believe this is why scientists and doctors are already prepared for the next pandemic to happen and how to survive with different medical treatment.
