History as a discipline is traditionally centered on peoples, culture countries and regions, but everything has a history that can be described and studied Teaching history implies knowledge, knowledge is truth. The truth is everywhere the same. Therefore, education should be everywhere the same The findings have indicated that ignorance of history ,you would allow yourselves to be governed by the unknown past. So if you are ignorant of science, you will never believe in hidden forces working onwards to a happier future .It concludes that history is a single discipline practiced in many professions, in many ways and through many means.
