WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEMORY AND HISTORY?

To me, basically memory refers to the ability that our brain has to remember events and facts that we have gone through, and thanks to our capacity to imagine those memories, we can make use of it. In the other hand, history is all the actual facts and events that we went and have gone through, so I think that the main difference between both of this terms is that memory is the way that we see, retain and remember our history.

HOW DOES MEMORY AFFECT HISTORY?

To us, yes. Memory affects history as we lived it at first throughout time, and it changes the way we see the event in a way that maybe two or three years after something happend, we remember it completely different.
