In the study of history, historians often look at important events in terms of cause and effect. The factors that caused an event to occur, then the effects of that event on society, are useful in the study of the past, partially because applications can be made between historical events and present situations. In addition, to fully understand any event, it is necessary to understand the immediate factors prior to and then following an event.
