Hmm. "Use". I know that world history is the study of past events in all corners of our planet, Earth.

Well, I can see the question. But I can't be sure that I'm answering the question, correctly. If you replace it "use" with "study" then I can certainly answer the question!

We 'use' the world history so we can learn our mistakes in the past, so that we won't repeat the same mistake again. As the saying goes "History repeats itself." 

That's the only answer I can come up with.
