People study history for many reasons. Three reasons I think people study history is because history is a fascinating story which impacts our lives today. It also helps us to answer some of our own questions about time that went. My last reason would be that to live in this world, we interact with people around the world.

First, I think history is a fascinating story which impacts our lives today. For example we learn about the old generations, different languages, how different countries got independence from a harsh rule. We also learn about our family history and follow our generations' footsteps into greater achievements. History helps us to learn the important concepts that might help us in our own past, present, and future.

Another reason would be our curiousness about things we don't know about the past. We might want to explore and dig in more of the past.

It helps us to learn more about our environment and how people used to live before us. Those things can give us ideas and suggestions on how to make our lives better and much safer.

My last reason would be that to live in this world, we interact with people around the world. We have to connect with varieties of different cultures in order to be amongst them. Communication can be a huge problem if we don't know anything about the opponent. History gives us lots of information about the cultures and living style of people around the world.

I think people should study history to know a fascinating story being revealed. It helps answer a lot of our own questions. And finally, it helps us to maintain a better past, present and future with people amongst us.
