Why is it simplistic to describe history as "what happened in the past"?

History
1 answer:
irga5000 [103]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It is simplistic to describe history as "what happened in the past" because it's is not just an accumulation of facts. History goes beyond examining the records of events that have occurred.

It also involves studying to know why those events occurred. When the why is understood, then learning takes place and knowledge gained can be used to repeat and improve upon successes whilst preventing and or correcting mishaps.

This is important because the future is an accumulation of past and present occurrences.

Cheers!

1. Had the railroads not sought immigrants for its labor, what do you think the population of the United States would be like to
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The population of United states will be low.

Explanation:

The railroads sought immigrants for its labor because labors are needed for the building of railroads. The immigrants labor were good for this work due to taking low wage for the work as compared to local workers who demanded more money for the work because the work is very hard. If these immigrants did not come for the work of railroads so the population of United States of America is lower than the present population of United States.

The MOST important aspect of the Monroe Doctrine (1823) was that it A) prevented an invasion of French forces into Mexico. B) pr
Ghella [55]

Answer:  C) showed the US backed the independence of Latin America.

Explanation:

The United States was still young at the time the Monroe Doctrine was declared, and did not have a powerful navy to be patrolling the South American coast at that time.  But the US did want to keep European powers from encroaching into the Western Hemisphere, and wanted to put Europe on notice to that effect.  

President James Monroe asserted the doctrine in his annual address to Congress in 1823.  The doctrine was that the US would not interfere in European affairs, but also would view any attempts by European powers to take control of any nation in the Western Hemisphere as a hostile act against the United States.

As reported by the US Office of the Historian, there were some additional motives in mind in the US position, in addition to backing the independence of Latin American nations.  "Monroe’s administration forewarned the imperial European powers against interfering in the affairs of the newly independent Latin American states or potential United States territories. While Americans generally objected to European colonies in the New World, they also desired to increase United States influence and trading ties throughout the region to their south."
