The uncountable form is more common, because most educated native-speakers of English have a subject called "History" or "Social Studies" in most years of their primary and secondary education. The countable form is used in book titles and book reviews, such as "A History of the Soviet Union". | |
| Mar 12, 2015 at 21:21 | comment | added | meatie | Definition 1 appears to require the countable form, like "a/the Soviet history", while definition 4 appears to require the uncountable form. The original example uses "history" in the uncountable form ("its central place in Soviet history"). So, I thought I should use definition 4. | |

| Mar 12, 2015 at 17:34 | comment | added | meatie | So, I misunderstood the phrase "Soviet history"? | |

Improved formatting. Irony of the specific quote.
