history's
Belonging to bygone events
History's is the possessive form of history, indicating something belonging to or associated with the past or the study of it: history's greatest military commander, history's verdict on the war.
The phrase history's lessons refers to what past events can teach us.
In history's dustbin, failed ideas and forgotten figures are discarded.
