    Social Science is a broad interdisciplinary field of study that encompasses the systematic analysis of human behavior in social contexts. Within this wide area of focus, one significant aspect is historical studies. History itself can be seen as a branch of the broader field of Social Sciences, with its main aim being to understand why people act as they do by analyzing their past behaviors through studying specific events, individuals, and groups and how these have impacted society from the beginning of time. Historical studies within the realm of Social Sciences involve a deep examination of various aspects such as social conflicts, economic practices, cultural habits, political systems, religious beliefs, scientific knowledge, technological advancements, and artistic creativity over different periods.
