Without History what would this world be ?

Does history matter ? Of course history matters, history is one of the most important and significant things that we base our studies off of today. If history did not exist we would not know things such as when our independence day was and how we gained things, like our freedom. History is the main source from where people such as scientist gain their background knowledge of how our world used to be and what existed. History most importantly shows us how we came to the point we are in the world today. It also helps to figure the outcome of what the future might hold and what to expect to see, like they say history repeats itself, so with the knowledge of what went on before you may be able to predict what could occur in the future.
