The Importance of History

Yes, i believe history is VERY important because we need to know what mistakes people made before so we do not make them. People always say history repeats itself and i believe that because people are not as educated on history as they should be. In a way it is like buy a new T.V., would you buy a  TV that people were having problems on based on reviews online? no you most likely would not, its a mistake someone else made so that you would not make the same one as they did. Looking at things that failed for other countries would help us learn what we should not do to keep ourselves alive.
