Relationship Between History And Other Subjects - History Notes Form One
Relationship between history and other subjects
History relates to some subjects, including Geography, Mathematics, Biology, and Languages such as Kiswahili, English and Arabic. History also relates to Music and Theatre Arts.
1. History and Geography
History relates to Geography because both deal with the theories concerning the world and human beings.
While History deals with the origin of human beings, Geography deals with the origin of the universe, where historical events occur, and human beings study them.
Another relationship is that historical events occurred in certain geographical environments that favoured human beings.
For example, the remains of human civilisation suggest that civilisations flourished around the environments that supported survival, primarily river valleys and forests. Since then, human beings have occupied such places.
2. History and Mathematics
History has a close relationship with Mathematics as Mathematics is used for determining the chronology and sequence of historical events. We use graphs, charts and timelines to explain historical events.
Mathematics is also used to determine the time in which events happened, the dates, and the arrangement of those events chronologically. In this case, History uses the knowledge of Mathematics to verify the events that happened in the past.
3. History and Biology
The evolution theory used to study the origin of human beings in History is also used in Biology to study the origin and existence of varieties of species.
Therefore, History has close relationship with Biology. This relationship allows further investigation of human existence.
4. History and Language (Kiswahili, English, A rabic and others)
History helps to study the origin, development and changes that have taken place in human languages over time.
History facilitates languages to spread from one place to another, through various actions/events.
Spread of languages helps historians to trace regional migration of people and their impacts on new regions.
5. History and Music
History traces origin, development and influence of music throughout the human existence. Music serves not only as a historical artefact but also as a vehicle for transmitting historical narratives.
In this case, music becomes a narrator of the past and a channel through which History finds its meaning and spreads across time.
6. History and Theatre Arts
History and Theatre Arts are closely related subjects that complement each other. As History offers historical perspectives and narratives, Theatre Arts brings emotional depth, sympathy, and artistic explanations to historical events, enhancing our understanding of the past and its relevance to the present.
