What is the difference between history and social studies?

Story is one branch of social studies. Your question is similar to “What is the difference between football and sports? €?

The corollary answer is that football is one kind of sport. Some would argue that history may well be the most important branch of social studies, but that would depend on whom you ask. The other branches of social studies are economics, psychology, sociology, political science, and geography.

(I’m sure I’ve left one or two branches out…….) In one sense, history affects all of these. For example, geography is really the study of history. Studying the border between Mexico and the United States, which is a subject of geography, one must study the Mexican-American War in the mid 1800’s.So, is that studying geography or history?

See how easily they overlap? Politics certainly works almost the same way. We read about the current President’s plans for the economy or for a region of the world.

We must first know how that region or that economic plan has fared in the last three or four (or more! ) Presidents. That is history.

It is all intertwined.

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.
