History serves as the foundation upon which our understanding of the world is built, offering invaluable lessons from the past that guide our present and future. The famous adage, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” by philosopher George Santayana, underscores the critical importance of remembering and studying history. By examining the successes and failures of previous generations, we gain insights that help us avoid repeating the same mistakes, fostering a more informed and enlightened society.
