History is the study of past events, particularly in human affairs. It encompasses a chronological account of significant occurrences, societies, and cultures, examining how they have developed over time. Historians analyse various sources, including documents, artefacts, and oral accounts, to construct narratives about the past. The discipline aims to understand the causes and effects of events, the experiences of individuals and groups, and the broader societal changes that have shaped the present. Through history, we gain insights into patterns of behaviour, the rise and fall of civilisations, and the complexities of human experiences across different contexts and periods.
