Mr. McCarthy's World of History

Many people say that history is a dead subject, but that is not true. Everything that happens today and everything that will happen in the future is a result of what happened in the past. Relationships were made throughout history that broke off that led to present day conflicts. Never assume that history is dead because when somthing happens, it is a result of a previous historical event.
