History

How, When and Where

Question:

Why is it important to have dates or time frames while writing History?

Answer:

We need dates and time-spans to divide the history book into chapters. It is necessary to give each chapter some consistency. Dates help us record history in a way that makes some sense and can be followed. Dates also help historians to focus on those particular events about which they are writing.
