Is history and the study of it necessary?

History is unecessary. This subject only helps us increase our general knowledge.I feel that history is interesting. If you learn history,you'll get to know how is our ancients' life. We'll know how our ancestors suffered during the war. I feel that this subject is difficult. However,i'm still willing to pick up the subject. To me,history is one of the easiest subject to score. It also helps me to improve my english with those inference questions. Last time i hated history very much. This subject was making me confused with all those dates that i have to memorize. I have never scored well for all my history tests. This year,i will learn to like this subject and i hope i could score well for it.
