We are all products of the past. It's best to learn about what has happened to learn from it, and hopefully not repeat the mistakes.

relive those moments? What is not learned about can easily be repeated. Vietnam and Iraq have some things in common

I believe History should start in the 50's. That's far enough back. Of course there are reference books if anyone wanted to study farther back. But I think we've made so many strides since the 50's that we should focus on these more recent years.

So we know the good and bad things that people before us did. There is a saying that goes 'history repeats itself', so hopefully, we'll try to repeat the good--and not the bad.

because the past has a way of repeating itself and people can learn from what happened in the past and instill it to everyday life, politics...whatever.

Those who do not study history, are doomed to repeat it.
Like, if you always hurt yourself doing something, after awhile, you learn not to do that anymore.
