History encompasses a wide range of subjects, including the analysis of documents, artifacts, and oral accounts to understand and interpret the past. It involves examining timelines, contexts, and the impact of historical events on societies and cultures. Historians use various methodologies to reconstruct past events, assess their significance, and understand their influence on the present and future.
