The conflict between various objectives of history education has always been a great concern for scholars and educators all over the world. For years, experts in this field have been studying and researching for education methodologies as the solution to the problem. This paper focuses on the topic with an explanation to what are the main goals or objectives of history education to both the nation and the learners or the society and why achieving the goals is essential to not only the education field but also other non-academic fields of inquiry. With analysis from different perspectives, the importance of history education to the society and nation is clearly illustrated and acts as the basis for the later investigation. Next, the reasons for conflicts and problems to emerge are discussed in this paper as well. The concept of ethics, politics, religions, and nationalism are included as factors influenced or represented by history education. The conflict between individual critical thinking and social or national unity is brought to the discussion and directly leads to the next part. Finally, with the example of European countries, North Ireland, Britain, and Ukraine especially, this paper combines various scholars' research and ideas to the problem and reach out a conclusion of the best education methodology of history.
