Is it true or false that HISTORY is not a science?

Thankies:DIs it true or false that HISTORY is not a science?
History is a ';social science'; or one of the humanities.Is it true or false that HISTORY is not a science?
History itself is not a science.





Whilst it's (usually) based on fact, it's the human account of things that happened and thus can be quite flawed. Just look at anything with a conspiracy theory attached.





However science plays a part. For example arcaelogists are able to use science to date things.
History is considered to be a part of the social sciences (geography, government, civics, economics too). These subjects are referred to as ';soft'; sciences. Therefore, no, they are not truly a science.
True. History is a study, not a science.
History(His-Story) is mostly fact about the past! Therefore not a science.
Suppose you tell ME how History.. which is merely a RECORD of human existance... possible BE a ';science';....
history is fact
True.
