20、 Columbus landed near the north coast of Jamaica on June 20, 1503 with only two of his four ships. At first, the natives welcomed Columbus and his crew, providing them with food and other supplies, and welcoming them with open arms.This arrangement didnt last very long. Over the next several months
21、Columbus crew repaid the generosity of the natives by frequently stealing and cheating them. As a result of this, by January of 1504, the native people decided to stop supplying the Europeans.Without the significant source of food or means to leave, Columbus crew were in serious trouble. Luckily for
22、 his crew, Columbus had certain lunar knowledge. He predicted there would be a total lunar eclipse on the evening of February 29, 1504.

29、 around us. And in my opinion, studying history benefits beyond history itself, because it helps develop and refine our skills through studying history.You can refine our reading skills by reading texts from a wide array of time periods. Language has changed and evolved over time and so has the way
30、people write and express themselves.

32、understand the many reasons why people may behave the way they do. As a result, it helps us become smarter as decision-makers.In the study of history we will need to conduct research. This gives us the opportunity to look at two kinds of sources primary (written at the time) and secondary sources (w
33、ritten about a time period, after the fact). This practice can teach us how to decipher between reliable and unreliable sources.There are numbers and data to be learned from history. In terms of patterns: patterns in population, disappearances during times of war, and even in environmental factors.
34、These patterns that are found help clarify why things happened as they did.Its incredibly important to learn to question the quality of the information and “history” we are learning.

History is the story of who we are, where we come from, and can potentially reveal where we are headed.There is a history of ev
84、ery field and topic, from medicine, to music, to art.

85、l systems, and even society as a whole worked in the past so we understand how it came to work the way it is now.Studying history allows us to observe and understand how people and societies behaved. For example, we are able to evaluate war, even when a nation is at peace, by looking back at previous events. History provides us with the data that is used to create laws, or theories about various aspects of society.
