I think that it is important to study history whilst you have the chance as if you done you may regret it .History gives you a wide range of opportunities careers and vocabulary.You benefit from history due to the amount you learn in it .Everything you learn is based on a certain time period which could help you in other lessons .
Without history you will not be able to understand questions about time periods in your GCSE as they won’t become clear .The two questions are how do we know that all of these events happened as we don’t have much evidence
