The study of history often focuses on wars and political leaders. Why is it important to consider social history as well?

Social history provides context for major events by examining everyday lives, cultural trends, and social movements. It helps us understand:

The impact of historical events on ordinary people: How wars, political decisions, and economic changes affect daily lives.
The development of social structures: How societies evolve, including class structures, gender roles, and social movements.
The roots of contemporary issues: Social history sheds light on how the past shapes our present social and cultural landscape.
