Question by knight1192a:

What do people consider to be history?

A recent question, and more to the point an answer to that question, has me wondering what folks consider to be history. Does a controversy, no matter if it's political or something else, fit your view of history? Or to you is history just important dates and speeches?

See, to me this contrevesy is still a part of history, in fact as I type this it becomes a part of history. History isn't just important dates and speeches to me. It's not just the major figures involved in those dates or giving those speeches. It's everything that has happened or is currently happening. But it's broken down into the present, recent history, not so recent history, distant history, ancient history, and prehistoric history. Present history are things that are currently happening to within the last few days all others are covered in terms of days and years.

What is history to you?
