    History is the study of past events as described through written documents, with events before written records considered prehistory. It involves discovering, collecting, organizing, and interpreting information about past events. Historians write about history and examine past events objectively to determine patterns of cause and effect, though some debate history's usefulness and whether it provides perspective on present problems or is an end in itself.

    History is the study of the past as it is described in written documents.

    [3][4] Events occurring before


    written record are considered prehistory. It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well
    as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information
    about these events. Scholars who write about history are called historians.

    History can also refer to the academic discipline which uses a narrative to examine and analyse a
    sequence of past events, and objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect that
    determine them.[5][6] Historians sometimes debate the nature of history and its usefulness by
    discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective"
    on the problems of the present
