Is History THAT Important?

In my opinion History is more important that what anyone thinks. If it wasn't for History we wouldn't be able to prevent some of the things that have already happend in the past. Also, we wouldn't undestand the reasons why we have some of the rules that we have now a days or why the government is the way it is. Not only that, but we wouldn't know some of the amaizing things that our ansensors did before we wer even born.
