I can't see the text but as for your question most of the history in the history books seem (to most) to have happened a lifetime ago so they don't really see how it retains to them and their lives. They live in the present time so they want present events. I believe that although past history is important to learn, we must also take notice of the historic events that are taking place right now. It lets us know what countries are doing (I.e war,trade,ect.) as well as our own and how we are involved in the affairs we are currently in. Most importantly it as a lesson and a reminder to the future generations on how certain events caused certain destruction. It is a stain in time so to speak so they will not take the action's we took in the past to lead them to the repetition of our past and current mistakes.

Explanation:

In antiquity civilizations used their own language and enforced this language on conquered people. Ancient greeks used greek as their official language. The romans, on the other hand, prefered to use greek. The conquered minority groups had to subordinate themselves to the conquering empire, and adopt the official language, since neither the romans not the greeks were willing to learn other languages. (except for a few counter-examples such as Saint Augustine, who knew Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Punic, amongst others)
