Remember, history subjects should be understood and memorized, and recitation should be based on understanding. If you don't understand it at all, you will soon forget it by memorizing it, which is meaningless. My high school history teacher's teaching method is to pay attention to reciting. He thinks that as long as you remember it, you can quickly recover your knowledge during the exam. I think this method is very good, but it is also based on understanding. See for yourself, what suits you is the best.
