Some text here about the topic of discussion

​The Study of History

History is:

• The study of the human past and the documented story of change over time.

• The story of how the world has changed and how it has not changed much at all.

• A narrative anchored in chronology, the continuum of time.

• An explanation of the past through the telling of stories of what actually happened and why, and how the stories relate to the events of the past.
