If we didn't have history we wouldn't know if someone invented something already and we would keep on re-inventing it.
With history we can improve inventions that are already created.

-If we didn't have history, we would keep on inventing cars.
-With history, today, our cars look way better then without history.

The best reason is that history has so many interesting facts that we wouldn't know if we didn't study (or read) history.

THE BOOK, FUTILITY AND THE TITANIC

-The Titan sank 14 years before the Titanic did.
-In the book, the Titan is called unsinkable; so is the Titanic
-The Titan sunk at midnight in April, 400 miles from New Found land
-The Titanic sunk at midnight, April 14, 1912, 400 miles from New Found land
-The Titan had 3,000 passengers and not enough life jackets
-The titanic had 2,207 passengers and not enough lifeboats
-They both sank after hitting an iceberg.
"Very coincidental huh?" (;

IN CONCLUSION,

WE SHOULD ALWAYS STUDY HISTORY!
