It helps us analyse how human brains worked, what choices they make.ect. Ect historians study how humans behaved then and compare it to now to see if we are going the same way as history has. Its sorta like looking into the future and if they think there might be a repeat of history.(bad events) they'll warn us or whatever.
Like WW1 & WW2 hope this helps :).
One of the issues facing art history is the question of images of works of art and who these images belong to. Museums have begun to provide their publications alongside high-resolution images to the public, completely free for personal use. The Google Art Project uses technology to allow you to get closer to art than ever before.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
